Cornell Farms in the Rainy River District has shifted to direct marketing to better respond to consumer demand. Kim Cornell developed a marketing approach that included branding, the use of a wireless Visa/Debit machine and a range of new beef products that incorporate other local products such as wild rice. As well, consumers have responded in kind, increasing their purchases of beef products at the local farmers' market.
