Boosting America’s Regional Farms in the Era of Big Food | Eater
"Launched in 2014 by Michael and Nelly Hand with a 31-foot vessel, this Alaska-based fishing business focused on smoothing the seasonal boom-bust cycle by producing year-round revenue: selling fresh salmon in season, pre-selling frozen salmon for fall delivery, and smoking fish to offer product throughout the year. While not yet highly profitable, the owners view value-added processing as a tool to weather poor seasons and add income when salmon returns are small, even though canning and smoking entail significant expenses." - Virginia Gewin
