Meet Melissa Nygren, an entrepreneur from Eagle Creek, Saskatchewan.
Melissa is the owner / operator of Homestead Harmonic – a supplier of duck and chicken eggs as well as chemical-free garlic and mushrooms.
Melissa is passionate about homesteading and producing safe, healthy food.
When asked how she measures success, Melissa says “we measure success in crops: we are rich in garlic!”
When asked what advice she would give to other entrepreneurs, Melissa’s response is: “Believe in yourself and take steps in the direction towards your dream, even if it seems impossible, just take 1 step and the next steps will fall into place. The universe will help.”
Melissa’s feedback on the ELEVATE program: “The Elevate program was a huge help in giving my business a boost, by providing funding for education and bookkeeping services I otherwise would have not been able to afford.
Melissa’s five-year plan is to develop a loyal customer base and expand into educational workshops and other products such as natural beauty salves and soaps.
