Megan Klein is the President and Co-Founder of Here. Their mission is to bring people closer to their food by making locally sourced and produced food and beverage using only real ingredients. All of their products support Midwestern farmers, the local workforce, and your neighborhood grocer who chooses to source close to home.
Klein says, “more than 90% of people would buy local given the opportunity.” The problem consumers experience when buying local, she explains, is the lack of already cooked and prepared foods. In today’s fast-paced world, not everybody has time to cook a full meal every day. This is why Here makes packaged foods such as cold-pressed juices, dips, spreads, and salad dressings.
