Okay, so I imagine you have outsourced labor then?

We are an upstart company and have supply chain and manufacturing ready to roll.

Yea, you'd need to adopt a supply chain that restricts manufacturing and distribution for it to not be economically feasible to have regional variants, which is why I'm guessing you're doing the manufacturing over in China or someplace like that where you've gotta have a minimum number of orders per unit specification.

We are an upstart company hence why we are on a crowdfunding platform ;)

How do you intend to distribute revenue? Are you going to invest in local manufacturing? Maybe take over the old Edge Pharma facilities if they haven't been already?

We are getting way off topic from my original post. Our Director of Logisitics has everything setup without getting into details. Yes, we would love to do everything local once we have enough revenue. We already have a warehouse and office space. Frugged is just a new product line from Garnet Health here in Essex VT.

I'd think targeting and later diversifying based on ecological zones is an untapped space that would make a lot of sense because it's not a saturated market like the one you're entering. Insourcing to some level would help you diversify in that space.
