Our Story

Bruland & Associates, LLC was founded by Mark F. Bruland in 2010 after 30 years in food manufacturing and systems improvement. The company is based in southwest Wisconsin, where agriculture is not just a business — it’s a way of life.

With over two decades of hands-on experience in agriculture and agribusiness consulting, Mark has worked alongside farmers, food producers, and agricultural entrepreneurs across the United States and internationally. His work has focused on helping operations grow stronger, more efficient, and more profitable in an ever-changing marketplace.

At Bruland & Associates, we specialize in startup development, grant writing, business restructuring, operational improvement, and building meaningful connections between producers and markets. Every project is approached with practical, real-world insight — not theory.

What sets us apart is a straightforward philosophy: good operations can become great ones with the right structure, strategy, and support.

From small family farms to multi-state supply chains, we bring experience, perspective, and a commitment to helping agricultural businesses succeed for the long term.

Let’s start a conversation about your current (or even imagined) operation. We’d love to hear where your business is today — and where your dreams are itching to take it next.
