When an endeavor is able to gain backing from those who are popular in the world, I think it's apparent that it can only grow from that point. This is the case for growing organic crops and, more specifically, how one certain celebrity is taking steps to make it happen. Oprah Winfrey is a name that just about everyone in America - as well as other parts of the world - know quite well. My only concern, though, is just what the results of this endeavor will prove to be.
Pacific Business News reported on Oprah's foray into growing organic crops, much of it being done thanks to her farm located in Maui. It's clear that she has the means to go about this in her own way but she was smart when it came to trademarks as well. She had the titles "Oprah's Organics" and "Oprah's Harvest" registered, so it's possible that we'll see those in time. To say the least, this is a story that networks like Colle Farmers Market should place focus on.
It's clear that Oprah's charitable nature had come into play, as beforehand she was giving away the food that was grown on the farm. However, a close friend of Oprah's, Bob Greene - a fitness expert - said that the selling will occur in time. I think that this idea has a great deal of potential, not only because of Oprah's name value but the value seen in going organic as well. However, I can't help but to have my concerns as far as this matter is concerned, too.
I think that Oprah has the opportunity to make this a great farm but it has to be done with the consumers in mind. The big problem that Prince Charles of Wales had with his own market was that the vegetables and miscellaneous crops that he grew were not priced well. They were deemed too expensive even by organic standards, meaning that people couldn't afford them. Oprah should keep this in mind if she's serious about making the most of her farm as possible.
Oprah, in theory, can do a great deal when it comes to growing organic crops and creating a marketplace that anyone would be able to invest in. Keep in mind that she is a person of power in the world and her name is known by just about everyone. One would imagine that she'd be able to utilize a number of resources so that this could be more of a guaranteed success. If she manages to price items well and manage the marketplace in question accordingly, I don't think she'll encounter many issues.
