In this edition of the Espresso and Entrepreneurs Podcast, Lea Ann pulls up a chair and enjoys a cup of coffee with Ellie Bowman of Prickly Pear Farm and Home in Kinsley, KS. As the average age of small business owners in our rural communities keeps bumping upward, Ellie is bucking that trend. Arguably one of the youngest lumberyard owners in America, Ellie purchased her lumberyard last year, at age 21, and has been working hard all year to make improvements and expand its offerings – all while being mindful to give back, and mentor other young entrepreneurs along the way.
Join us, as we meet Ellie and find motivation and valuable insights from her journey.
