Mara Tyler of The Farm at Oxford
We have a boutique cut flower farm in Southern Chester County called The Farm at Oxford. Growing unique and unusual flora and fauna, we love to sell to our local designers for their weddings and events. We also offer a bouquet share CSA to locals who want fresh flowers on the regular in their homes.

Parikha Mehta of Parikha Mehta Photography
With my editorial work, I help small businesses show the human element behind the product or service they provide. So much hard work and dedication goes on unnoticed behind the scenes, but those stories are so compelling and they really do deserve to be told.
Whitney Cecil of Almanac Industries
As a lady boss who works mostly alone, it was really inspiring for me to sit in a room of women who have both very similar experiences and very different ones all at the same time. We shared some fun stuff and some nitty gritty and thinking back, it continually motivates me.
Alexa Gaines & Lucie Camp of #TheBmoreCreatives
The Bmore Creatives is dedicated to promoting and connecting the creative community throughout the city, both on social media and beyond. Online, we exist mainly on Instagram, where we feature different artists, makers, small business owners, avid-IGers — anyone doing cool/creative stuff in Baltimore.
Diana DuHaime of ONLO
Don't take every single bit of advice your given. Everyone has something to say about what you do or don't do. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut and believe in your own ideas. Innovation looks and feels different.
Jennifer Wilfong of Yummy & Company
One of my favorite parts of being an artist and small business is the community that I belong to! I'm part of the Charm City Craft Mafia, a small craft collective, that organizes and produces several amazing events each year for local and regional artists to sell and promote their work.
Sara Villari of Occasionette
I love how shop owning requires so many different problem solving abilities. A huge part of it is the numbers and logistics — the buying budget, figuring out costs, making sure we're ordering the right numbers on inventory, scheduling staff, ordering a good range of price points. But then I also love the creative part of it.
Michele Suits of Michele Suits Photography
I specialize in natural portraiture and wedding documentation. My main areas of focus are body-positive boudoir photography and unscripted family sessions. Someone once described my style of photography as "like a warm, sun-drenched memory," and that really stuck with me.
