Certified Producers

Western Sustainability Exchange certifies ranches, farms, and food businesses that meet a diverse and rigorous set of Sustainability Criteria. Once a farm or ranch operation gains certification, WSE connects WSE-certified producers to our network of chefs, caterers, concessionaires, and grocers who are passionate about sourcing local, sustainably produced food. This provides incentive to producers to complete WSE's sustainability certification. WSE facilitates almost $2 million in sales annually for our producers.

Our producers span the region
