The Quick
Organics Story
Tech-forward entrepreneur becomes an organic farmer …and spent 7 years creating a system to streamline the certification process.
In 2013, motivated by a childhood dream, our co-founder Greg Schreiner purchased a set of certified organic farms located in Wellington, Colorado. The properties had been organic for over 30 years. Intending to keep the farms organic, Greg was quickly indoctrinated into the daunting process of organic certification and paperwork.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Greg set about finding a simpler way to manage his farms’ organic status by creating and testing various tools and tracking processes. After years of experimentation, the family perfected their process and quickly realized thousands of other farmers could benefit from their innovation .
In 2021, working with some of the top software engineers and organic certifiers in the field, we launched Quick Organics. Our goal is to streamline the process of becoming and staying certified organic.
Quick Organics saves producers time and stress on regulatory paperwork and data management, and provides value and insights to help producers meet their goals.
“You are the most organized farm we see all year. If only other farmers used your system.”
