Leading the Way in Green Distributing

Kathryn Beattie of Leading Green Distributing has been fighting for local farmers for a decade and a half. The way she supports their dedication in providing for the local supply chain of our most critical resource (Food) is through her brain-child of creating a network of small farmers and outlets for their harvest. Through tenacity and loyalty to doing what is right for her employees, she continues to weather one storm after another.

The following is an excerpt from a full article published in The Laurel of Asheville:

Beattie takes on the logistics of transportation for small farms, maintaining the quality of their products through proper handling and refrigeration. Most of the Leading Green trucks use locally produced biodiesel recycled from businesses. “I have always kept an eye on the larger goal of doing things in the most environmentally efficient way,” Beattie says. “I try to reduce waste in all things, by diverting from the landfill, offering ‘carpool’ rates to customers and working with other trucking companies to share freight.”
