Oprah May Benefit From Growing Organic Crops

By Rob Sutter


There are a number of noble endeavors that exist in the world but the bigger names always seem to elevate it to greater levels than before. For example, I don't think that many people would have considered growing organic crops to be something great but there is a lot of value to it. One of the names that have taken notice of such value is Oprah Winfrey, who I'm certain everyone knows about. What will the results of her foray into such farming come out 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.

In order for this to be the most effective venture Oprah's has gone on, she has to make sure that the crops are sold at affordable prices. It was recently reported that Prince Charles of Wales had to close down his own market because the prices were ones that not many people could have afforded. Business cannot happen if the revenue doesn't come in. If Oprah can keep this aspect in mind, she can certainly bring her farm into a much more profitable future.

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.
