Ann Hoffert's business is one of the great success stories in the Adding Value business. Ann employs over 20 workers in busy times as these workers hand make floral bird feeders and decorative wreaths out of corn and other products. The work is meticulous and most of Ann's employees have been with her for more than ten years. "People ask me if I'm ever worried someone out there will copy us and I say no, because I think they would give up before they would attempt something involving the work and craftsmanship that we specialize in". Ann primarily sells to wholesalers and she has found a niche selling to city dwellers and those in urban areas all across the country. A "North Dakota made" product is a big deal to people in urban areas in terms of buying a quality, made from the earth product.
