About us
Our Story
The Open Field started with a dream—to revive barren land with roses. But reality reshaped our vision. Seeing indigenous farmers struggle with unfair markets, we pivoted to building a transparent, sustainable supply chain for forest produce. Today, we empower 250 farmers, ensuring fair prices and quality sourcing. With trusted partners and expert advisors, we bridge tradition with technology, creating a future where forest communities thrive, their wisdom valued, and their produce reaching global markets.
Our Mission
The Open Field is committed to building a transparent, sustainable, and equitable supply chain for forest produce by empowering indigenous communities, preserving traditional knowledge, and leveraging technology to ensure fair trade, accountability, and environmental responsibility. Through innovation and collaboration, we bridge the gap between farmers and markets, creating lasting impact.
