How does a design and manufacturing company in rural Ohio find itself receiving $100,000 worth of consulting? Recently I had the opportunity to talk with someone that most would not guess to be an innovator in using social networking for business purposes. From the onset of our conversation, he talked about how his town, Gnadenhutten, located in eastern Ohio, is the second oldest established settlement and oldest permanent settlement in the state’s history. A town of 1,300 found in Tuscarawas County, Gnadenhutten’s largest employer is the local school district, followed by Tusco Display.

Social Media on the Farm

I love meeting people who obviously could have chosen a variety of careers that would have provided for their family but intently chose a path that positively impacts the world. Jaime Moore of WayWard Seed Farm is one such person. I interviewed Jaime regarding her use of social media to promote WayWard Seed Farm's products.
The interview was originally for a social media article I wrote for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. I was so impressed with Jaime that I am posting her full replies below. The social media article written for the Ohio Farm Bureau can be found on their site.
