We finished the Start:ME Southside 2026 cohort at Emory’s Goizueta Center. We won Pitch Perfect. We also won the Community Impact Award.
What kept landing every time we got on stage: there were 19 other businesses in that cohort — a cocktail bar, a chocolate maker, a doula, a pottery studio, a carrot hot dog company — and we could name a direct connection between this farm and every single one of them.
That’s not strategy. That’s what a community hub actually feels like.
The awards were the easy part to celebrate. The connections are the part we’re building the whole farm on.
