Open Gates empowers rural communities by growing purposeful, family-centered businesses since 2003.
It started with a dream...
- Bill Evans (CEO)
Open Gates Group began with a simple vision: to bring organic, farm-fresh dairy to market while supporting the families who produce it. Since 2003, that vision has grown into a network of purpose-driven companies, united by a shared commitment to sustainability, integrity, and rural vitality.
Our mission is to create value and enrich lives by building businesses that uplift families and strengthen small-town communities. Open Gates Business Development is a family of companies based out of Kalona, Iowa.
