Last week, CEO East visited All Good Things, a lavender farm in Amboy owned by Kelly Foster. She took us through her plan to retire early from teaching and start her lavender business. She walked us through her process from dreaming of it to the current state and what she plans to do over the next few years. She taught everyone how to harvest the plants and gave a variety of techniques on what to do with the harvest. She displayed what she eventually sells at markets and we took notes of her display for our own tradeshow. It was the perfect morning and we all walked away with our harvest!

Thanks AGT for having us!
