Quite honestly, MIRA does such a fine job meeting our needs. What I love the most is that when we have a question, they are always ready to answer it or get back to us very quickly.

Even though we’re not affected by the meat labeling law because we’re small and everything comes directly from the farmer, we rely on the information MIRA provides and how much they try to help small businesses,” “We appreciate the programs, too, but the way they work to keep us updated and protect us from taxes and regulations is the most important.

With size, comes scale, and scale can drive impact both commercially and politically. That’s why membership is so important.

Harold McGovernNational Wine & Spirits, Brownstown MI

We get better deals thanks to MIRA. We get the rebates with the coupons, and we can send them directly to them instead of sending to each manufacturer. It’s easy to send them to one place, and that is it. That really helps us save a lot of time. They also help us with the Dairymens Milk Company, and we get the special price, too. That is very nice.
