Growing Organic Crops May Be Done For Oprah

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?

An article on Pacific Business News talked about how Oprah would get into growing organic crops thanks to the work done on her farm in Upcountry Maui. Not only does she have the means to produce an array of vegetables but a few names were already tossed out into the open. Such titles as "Oprah's Organics" and "Oprah's Harvest" have become registered trademarks. This level of work is great and one deserving of attention from networks on the matter such as Colle Farmers Market.

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.

Do I think that Oprah can follow through when it comes to growing organic crops? I strongly believe that she can because of the resources that, in theory, she can easily get her hands on. She will be able to afford some of the best, which means that her market can become one of the most profitable. However, this will not be seen if she doesn't take into consideration a number of setbacks that had fallen upon potential farmers in the past; these could make or break her work.
