“Jan has been an invaluable resource to grow, define, and sharpen our business… She has helped us vastly improve our hiring, employee management, and risk management processes, with simple, strategies that make a big positive impact. She’s helped us step back and look at the Big Picture, further defining our farm’s mission, values, and visioning for the future, then grounding that vision in the present. With Jan’s help, we’ve been able to move forward without sacrificing our quality of life and partnering goals.”

… “If we did not find Dr. Jan, I am convinced that we would either be out of business or one of us would have left.  With her guidance, we are continuing to grow our business and are actually having fun working as business partners.  As our business relationship mends, she continues to be a big part of our team.  She assists us with long-range planning, employee HR issues, and marketing plans.  We came to her to help us work better together.  What we found was so much more.”
