How do you\u00a0become a Biz woman who ROCKS?<\/p>\n

Listen to our Interview with Heather Sandford of The Piggery, Inc!<\/h1>\n

Heather Sandford is a butcher and a farmer. \u00a0She and her husband started\u00a0The Piggery\u00a0<\/em>in 2007 because they had a personal love of self-sustaining food and nature. \u00a0They opened up their farm and by simple demand, started selling fresh pork from their farm-raised pigs at the local farmer’s market. \u00a0Six weeks later, dozens of people were waiting in line! \u00a0In this incredible interview, Heather talks about her business, why she’s so passionate about providing a local farm fresh option to her community, how she’s grown by word of mouth marketing and how she acquired a USDA license to start her wholesale business! \u00a0Listen to Heather talk about one of their darkest moments and how she’s stayed true to her core competency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heather’s\u00a0Kick-A$$ Quotes:<\/h2>\n

I love helping my customers directly, but I\u2019m not really helping the business if I don\u2019t get off the floor, if I don\u2019t trust my manager, if I don\u2019t just let them do what they need to do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s hard to do everything.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Even though we can make great charcuterie and good meat, are we good business people?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/h2>\n

2.\u00a0Book:<\/strong> The Outlander Series\u00a0by Diana Gabaldon\u00a0<\/em>(get a free audio of this book now!<\/a>)<\/p>\n
