I have had the pleasure to attend a conference given by Sarah to entrepreneurs in the agrifood sector. Her talk was based on Carone Winery's best practices in leveraging social media. Her vast experience, generosity in sharing what worked and didn't for her organization and numerous examples were most appreciated by all who attended!
