At The TRELLIS Collective, we’re more than consultants—we’re strategic thinkers with a passion for local food and smart, sustainable growth.

We believe in the power of local food networks to build stronger, more resilient communities.

Our hands-on work with innovative farms, ethical food brands, and supply chain leaders means we know what it takes to help businesses like yours thrive.

  • Bridging the Gap Between Producers and Customers

    We help you connect with the right customers through smart, effective branding and marketing strategies that resonate.

  • Sustainability Meets Profitability

    You don’t have to choose between growing your business and staying true to your values. We make sure sustainability and profitability go hand in hand.

  • Telling Stories That Matter

    Your story deserves to be heard. We craft narratives that attract investors, customers, and partners who believe in your mission.

Even if you’re not a small farm or food startup, we’re here to help.

If you’re looking to make an impact on food systems and grow your business, let’s connect.

  • From farms to startups, we’ve worked alongside businesses like yours, tackling the same hurdles time and again—navigating complex food regulations, standing out in saturated markets, and balancing sustainability with profitability. We know that growth for local food businesses isn’t just about visibility—it’s about trust, authenticity, and making real connections with your audience.

  • We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all strategies, but we also don’t reinvent the wheel every time. Through our years of experience working with food brands, farms, and ethical businesses, we’ve developed and refined a set of tested, high-impact solutions that can be carefully customized to meet your needs. This approach allows us to deliver top-tier services at a fraction of traditional agency costs, making high-quality strategy accessible to all.

  • For us, success isn’t just about immediate results—it’s about long-term resilience. We craft strategies that not only increase your visibility and sales today but also strengthen your role in the local and sustainable food movement. By bridging the gap between profitability and purpose, we help brands scale while staying true to their values.
