In the course of our conversation, he repeatedly refers to different growers as "one of our partners" without even thinking about it. He even interrupts the interview to take a call from one of those partners in North Dakota, illustrating the very point he's been making about treating them the right way. It's difficult to tell which is the chicken and which is the egg, but as those personal relationships have matured, so too has Cambridge Farms' business plan. In fact, several of Cambridge's growers trust Gad and his team to such an extent that Cambridge now has management and financial input in their operations. Gad himself has spent more than a dozen summers away from home on farms in Virginia, Delaware and Florida. "Being on location lends us greater legitimacy," he says. "There are all sorts of issues a grower has to deal with, and being there with them gives us a better understanding of what it takes to get the right product and to take care of our partners."
