The Adams Group has been in business for over 100 years, getting started when the founder, David Adams was transporting barley from Woodland to the port of Oakland in a horse drawn buggy to be shipped to Britain during a barley shortage in the 1920’s.
Since then the Adams Group has grown into a food ingredient, vegetable oil and trucking company that produces ingredients found in millions of products found on your grocery store shelves.
Today Natalie sits down with Marianne, Meg and Wayne, three of the five Adams children who are currently the fifth generation of Adams to lead the company. They talk about their family history, stewarding a company built by previous generations, working together as siblings and how their family has handled succession across those five generations.
