HOSPERS, Iowa, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Midwest economy's most dynamic segment– its independent small businesses.

Between 2020 and 2022, these 172 private companies had an average growth rate of 134.06 percent; by 2023, they'd also added 14,830 jobs and $24.5 billion to the region's economy.

Starting in the basement of Rachel Granstra, the idea of increasing awareness for amazing people like her Husband and thousands of other American Farmers nationwide was born. Though it started as a handful of fun tee shirt designs, American Farm Company has grown into a national brand with more offerings added to their shop every week. Stepping out of her basement and into a new fulfillment warehouse in her town of Hospers, Iowa, has allowed her to stay close to home, grow her business, and employ dozens of women in her hometown—a cause near and dear to her heart.
Getting recognized by such a prestigious company such as Inc. 500 was never on her radar or a goal in mind. But, like most things, Rachel just went for it! And not only did AFC make the cut to be considered but we made it to the Top 10 in the entire region! Coming in at the 7th fastest-growing company (and the #1 in retail) is an extreme honor for her.

Methodology
The 2024 Inc. 5000 Regionals are ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2020 and 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $1 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
