Leverage Shuman Farms' year-round production and premium quality to secure contracts with regional grocers, foodservice distributors, and quick-service chains.

Brand Partnerships Expand co-branded marketing and NIL/athletics partnerships (building on past initiatives with universities) to drive consumer demand and create joint promotions with retailers and foodservice chains that favor Vidalia onions.

Seasonal Campaigns Leverage the Sweetest Ingredient: Vidalia campaign and restaurant week events to create limited-time promotions, menu integrations, and in-store demos, driving quicker turn and higher basket size during peak selling windows.

Digital Enablement Utilize existing tech stack (CRM-friendly platforms, analytics, and email campaigns) to nurture leads, track seasonal demand, and tailor B2B outreach. Propose targeting by region, channel, and buyer persona to optimize outreach to distributors and retailers.
