Crowdfunding Spotlight: Bluescreek Farm Meats
Each week, we give a bit of space and focus to a local would-be entrepreneur or an already-existing Central Ohio businessperson seeking support . Generally, this is someone who has ideas and goals for a product or service, but needs a bit of a boost. These folks turn to crowdfunding and we help to get the word out.
This week, we look at Bluescreek Farm Meats.
Customers know Bluescreek Farm Meats as a longtime resident of the North Market. Cheryl and David Smith have been serving up quality local cuts inside the market for more than twenty years. Fans love the service and especially the product (no growth hormones, no antibiotics). In addition to their stock of beef, lamb, pork, goat and veal, the Smiths also connect with the community by offering classes in the art of butchery.
As the years have gone by, Bluescreek has continued to grow and the family now finds itself in a position where they are facing space to be limiting inside the Market. As such, they’re looking to open a new operation in Plain City. The locale would put them approximately midway between the family farm in Marysville and their main customer-base in Columbus. The Smiths have acquired the property, but are turning to the community for help in getting the place up to speed. (jj)
