Testimonials

Here are some kind words about Grapevine Local Food Marketing from non-profits and government entities that we’ve worked with since we launched in 2016. These testimonials are based on a range of projects, including food systems websites and marketing.

“Thank you all so much. We really love it and we appreciate you and your team's hard work. It has been an absolute pleasure building this website with you and improving how we communicate about our group’s goal and purpose. I feel like it is user friendly and easy to read. People love the look of it and how it is laid out :)”

“As a food systems nonprofit in need of marketing support in a variety of upcoming complex projects, we connected with Grapevine for their expertise, passion, and insights in food marketing, which always shined through in the planning and execution of their work. Sarah and her team always ensured we felt taken care of and were supported from start to finish of our marketing projects, delivering high quality projects on time and budget.

We exceeded our marketing goals of our location map project on our website, ensuring SNAP shoppers had an easy, user-friendly way to find sites and access more fresh fruits and vegetables and increasing redemption rates of our program. Working with Natassia on our Save A Lot Google Ad campaign helped successfully launch and promote SAL as our new grocery store partner, increasing redemption rates and food access.

Working with their team’s creative photographer supplied us with the most beautiful photos showcasing our partner sites and farms across the state and enhancing our communications, designs, and presentations, as well as giving our partners rights to the photos for their own marketing purposes.

I would highly recommend Grapevine to any farm, food organization or business, looking for assistance from specialists who are sharp and care to elevate your food marketing.”

“Thank you so much for getting this to us ahead of schedule — and especially for extending such a generous pro bono discount. We’re truly grateful for your support and belief in our work. It means a lot to have partners who are not only skilled but also values-aligned.”

“We’re really looking forward to working with your team to bring this vision to life. Thank you again for your time, creativity, and generosity.”

“I really like the flow of the website and I feel like it is easier to navigate. I like the freshness of it. This is the updated feel I was looking for!”

“Thank you so much Gabi! You and the team did a great job on the website! We're excited to have such a lovely web presence to represent us.”

“Thank you all for your work on this [website] project — very exciting!!”

“The cards came in the mail earlier this week, and they look fantastic. I wouldn't have wanted to try to squeeze in any more text (thanks for that advice!) but they don't look too full. They're just what we needed — professional quality, useful, and beautiful.”

“I just looked at the sample email you put together and it looks incredible. Thank you for creating that structure for us. I can't wait to send out the first real one.”

“Thank you so much Grapevine Team. The webinar was really helpful and I can't wait to see the videos our farmers will produce moving forward. We really appreciated the time it took to put together the presentation.”

“The website looks so good!! I love how you have laid all the information out.”

“This is great! I love working with you.”

“LOVE LOVE!!! The website is clean, easy to understand and easy to navigate.”

“This is beyond fantastic. When Jodee, Laura, Michelle and I first kicked around an idea of "redesigning" farm to school in Indiana a few years ago, not ONE of us thought we would be able to do anything measurable on our own... Fast-forward to today and we have this beautiful website and print guide. I am very proud. We are a lucky group of people to have found you!”

“First of all, I just want to tell you that the [farm-to-school] Buyer's Guide layout is GORGEOUS. You’ve done a fantastic job! Thanks so much for all of the hard work that you and your team put into this – it really shows!”

“The process of building the website with you was so easy and enjoyable.“

"I just spent some time looking through the Harvest of the Month Hub and it is INCREDIBLE! Thank you for all of your fantastic work — we are very excited to see this come to life."

"Thank you from the bottom of my non-tech heart for the help with the toolkit files today! Everything was sent out and the presentation went great."

“First of all, WOW! You are remarkable. The website is so easy to read, scroll through, and eye-catching. Amazing work! You truly sprinkled your magic fairy dust on this one!“

“I just want to say how great the Buyer’s Guide design looks, Sarah! Very impressive. Clean and fresh looking! Great job!!”

“I want to let you know that I continue to get rave reviews on the Local Food Network logo and tagline.”

“You have such an amazing wealth of knowledge and are such a tremendous resource for me and for the Local Food Network. You knew just what we needed before we even knew ourselves, and you set-up our marketing systems in a way that has made it easy for us to learn to do the work ourselves. You've always known what we need and been there for us, and we are most grateful. Can't thank you enough.”

“We are so grateful to have Grapevine Local Food Marketing as our creative and technical advisor for our organization’s website and now our online Local Food Guide. You understand our work, anticipate what we need, and are a joy to work with. Thank you!”

“Our ongoing relationship with Grapevine Local Food Marketing has been essential to the success of our organization and we are so grateful! Your team's creativity has given us a professional and engaging web presence and your patient, tech-savvy assistance has taught us to maintain our own site. We've been told the Northeast Indiana Local Food Network's Local Food Guide is both ‘beautiful’ and ‘works really well’....and both are thanks to you!”

“The local food movement in Indiana owes you, your team, your incredible talent and wisdom so much!”

“During our kick off meeting with all of our partners, your name and Grapevine were dropped quite a few times! Many of our partners have worked with you and spoke very highly of your team's expertise, knowledge and creativity. I think I speak for more than myself that we're looking forward to more projects with you to change the food system in Indiana!”

“Wow!! This [website] looks AMAZING! I'm almost speechless haha. I love love love it. It's so dynamic and engaging — great job with the beautiful photos and keeping the loads of content readable and not overwhelming.”

“Thank you for your talent, time and creativity. We're in love with the new website! We are SO pleased with it and can't wait to share it with the world!“

“Thank you for being so awesome. I know we are a constant moving target and you have all been so wonderfully patient with us and a joy to work with.“

“Oh my gosh, the new food council website is soooo good! I love the overall design, and think there's a really nice balance between approachable and eye-catching. I also checked on my phone, and everything looks fantastic from there as well.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the refreshed food council website. I reviewed the site on my phone and everything looks good there too. Really smooth movement/feel. Truly a wonderful end-result, ladies. The site just feels right with the food council’s evolution and how we asked you to present the brand. Y’all nailed it. Thanks so much to your team.”

“I love the food hub flyer! It is super functional and beautiful!”

“Gabriela, I can’t say enough how much I love the lettuce imagery for the food hub branding. The colors are perfectly in step with the existing food council logo, and they sit alongside each other without competing. And the lettuce evokes this sense of a more organic, 3-dimensional, real life version of the logo leaves — it’s the perfect symbol for the direction that Region Roots [food hub] is taking the food council. The branding so far is beyond my expectations, and it’s giving me an emotional response, which is an amazing accomplishment on your part. Thank you so very much.”

“Thank you so much Sarah! Our website training was wonderful! On the trip home, we all agreed we had made the absolute best choice for our website designer! Besides your talent at designing, your love for healthy communities through local food was priceless!”

“Just got home this evening and unpacked the tabletop banner. Very nice!!! Thank you Sarah!”

“We again want to thank Grapevine Local Marketing for all that you have done to support the Elkhart community and help us with our website and social media. Especially during this trying time. Thank you so much Sarah!“
