Farming, running a small business, and, gosh, just being human, is an exercise in growth and change. The food we eat begins as a seed and blooms into abundance. The seasons march on, the weather is fickle. New ideas grow out of trial and error, out of observation, out of luck, and sometimes out of desperation. We learn (we try) to adapt, to innovate, to change our trajectory, or our perspective.
Are you a Maine farmer or food & beverage producer with a personal story about change, adaptation, innovation or breaking through barriers? We are looking for a few folks willing to tell their story LIVE at our next Stories from the Field event, Good Growth. Pitch us your story!
Fill out the information below. We will reach out if your story is selected to coordinate the next steps. Storytellers will be asked to be available the week of March 30th to practice in-person at Maine Beer Company.
Stories should be 5-7mins in length, express personal experiences, be able to be relayed with a clear beginning/middle/end, and be able to express how you felt in the moment. Think less product/business pitch, TED Talk or PetchaKutcha, and more Moth Radio Hour.
