| The story of Kalona SuperNatural™ began when owner Bill Evans and his wife, and six children, moved to Kalona, Iowa where they put down roots and became part of a community that is largely comprised of Amish and Mennonite farmers. Over time, Bill’s connection to the people and the land, as well as his background in finance, led him to create Kalona Organics, which oversaw the distribution of the Farmers’ All Natural Creamery and Cultural Revolution brands. Today, the company, which operates out of Kalona, Iowa, has become an essential part of ensuring that small organic farmers can share their all natural, high-quality products. | ||
