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.

Certified Producer Directory

The producers listed in our annual directory actively participate in the Market Connection program. They bear WSE’s certification for sustainable stewardship practices by adhering to our sustainability criteria. Many of these producers sell directly to consumers as well as to participating restaurants of the Farm to Restaurant program. Contact them directly for specific product information.
