    From Allison Lakin:

    I need your vote

    Lakin’s Gorges Cheese was founded in 2011 and expanded in 2017 to our own farm, East Forty Farm in Waldoboro, Maine. We strive to be good environmental stewards and have a social justice commitment, fighting food insecurity.

     I have been selected to compete as an “Entrepreneur of Impact” with a chance to win a $25,000 grant, mentorship with Daymond John of Shark Tank, and an appearance in Forbes Magazine.

    This will be selected by public voting, with weekly elimination rounds between January 20 and March 27.

    There are 2 ways to vote:

    You may cast a Free Daily Vote, which requires a Facebook login. Click the "Vote" button on my profile page. Then you’ll be directed down the page where you may click the "Free" button. At that point, you will be able to verify your vote by logging into Facebook. This refreshes every 24 hours, so it is possible to cast one vote per day.

    This competition is also a fundraiser for GENYOUTH and donations can be made to make additional votes. (But again, it’s free to vote once per day if you use a Facebook login.)

    I’d really appreciate the support.

    Voting opens 1/20 and the first round ends 1/30
