On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Celeste Lopreiato.

Celeste started The Conscious Kitchen at the age of 22. She began cooking regularly from recipe books at the age of ten, and while in school spent her summers working on organic vegetable farms, learning about market gardening and no-till methods. She combined her two passions of cooking and sustainable agriculture into the business and hasn't looked back. The business is currently in its third year of operation. Over the past few years of running The Conscious Kitchen, she's gained experience and knowledge in everything from sales to marketing, to financial forecasting and efficient budgeting. And while she didn't gain her skills from a fancy business school, she thinks the best education is through trial and error.

Her favourite thing to help other small businesses is figuring out how to get the customers they want - and how to keep them coming back. Her goal is to see more small businesses develop deep connections with customers through direct-to-consumer sales.

AGI Storm FX

Take the guesswork out of seed treating. Building on the success of previous models, the key functions of the AGI STORM FX have been refined through consultation with our current users. The AGI STORM FX has been engineered for accuracy, flexibility and mobility, gentle seed handling and easy clean-out, all while reducing user exposure. Unlike other seed treaters, the AGI STORM FX accurately measures untreated seed directly from the bin, precisely meters and applies the seed treatment, gently mixes the seed for consistent, even coverage and then transfers the treated seed into the truck, ready to plant. The simplified process provided by the AGI STORM FX reduces user exposure, making in-the-yard seed treating safe, simple and convenient, while giving you total control over the seed treating process.
