Redmond made Forbes Magazine

Redmond was picked as one of the top
25 small companies in Forbes magazine. Though the bit about Redmond was small I still thought it was a great compliment to an amazing company.  Darryl nominated the company a while ago and he was pretty happy when he found out Redmond was chosen. Forbes

Redmond on Forbes Lists
When a 1958 drought decimated their farm, brothers Milo and Lamar Bosshardt turned to mining the rich salt beneath it. In 1992 the family brought in Rhett Roberts, who repositioned Redmond’s reddish-hued salt as a premium product, emphasizing how it melted at a lower temperature than conventional white salt and boosting efforts to market it as superior for the dinner table. In 1999 Roberts bought the company and became CEO , doing away with titles and instituting a profit-sharing program that divvies up 10% of the firm’s net income among employees. He also opened up the company books, informing all employees about sales and profits Jan 28th.
