ABOUT US
|
| |
In 2000, farmers and grain
mill owners, Mark and Julie Schuett realized that the
future of farming was changing. Due
to large-scale corporate integrators, it was becoming
increasingly difficult for small family farmers to compete. The
Schuetts were convinced that organic production was one
course that could help sustain small family farmers. What
was needed to increase organic acres was a local processing
facility. Armed with little more than a head full
of innovative plans and a lot of ambition, Mark convinced
his family that he could construct a plant that would
be capable of processing organic oilseeds from seed to
packaged product without the use of chemicals.

|
The Schuetts, along with
a handful of farmer investors, formed American Natural
Soy, Inc. Our state-of-the-art organic oilseed
processing plant is strategically located in the
central Midwest in Cherokee, Iowa, amongst some of
the most fertile soil in the world.

Under Mark’s innovative and competent leadership,
American Natural Soy, Inc. has grown to one of the largest
organic oilseed processors in the United States. Organic
soybeans, canola, sunflower, safflower, and flax seeds
are taken from field to packaged product here. Hard
work and dedication to customer satisfaction has earned
the company a reputation as a leader in developing innovative
systems for organic processing. By identifying
what organic ingredients food companies require to supply
what the consumer seeks, we have established ourselves
as a go-to company in filling demands for unique organic
processing expertise in niche markets.

Realizing the importance of
constantly improving on the status quo, Mark continues
to lead the company in ever improving processes and expanding
capacities. American
Natural Soy, Inc. has recently completed a significant
organic oil refining expansion doubling capacity. The
immense capital investment required for this expansion
demonstrates our commitment to remaining one of the largest
organic oilseed processors in the U.S.
American Natural Soy is going green.
