#240, Eterna Fresh, Beau Fowler

As the Meaningful Marketplace Podcast Show continues its mission connecting food entrepreneurs with resources for success, we explore the six-state Regional Food Business Center, one state at a time. We are learning from Wyoming’s best by joining with co-host Melissa Hemken. Melissa is the community food systems specialist. Her role is supporting market infrastructure and sales channels, boosting food companies from their current to their next level. She is an Emmy-nominated producer of Our Wyoming- Food Freedom Markets. Wyoming has a state law that helps entrepreneurs by allowing their cottage industry to flourish. 

Hosts Sarah Mason and Sarah Marshall are joined by Co-Host Melissa Hemken (heritage chicken farmer and food systems storyteller) of Wyoming to meet Beau Fowler of Eterna Fresh, making freeze-dried fruits, veggies, meats and dairy. They are Wyoming's first commercial/retail freeze dried manufacturing facility, with a heavy focus on using only the freshest ingredients in the products.
