“When you’re farming, which is a 24-7 job, there’s a lot to keep track of, and we needed someone to help us with the numbers," says Jim Mansfield, owner of Four Hills Farm. Jim began his farming business by raising sheep and selling lamb in two stores. When he and his employees faced challenges with business growth, he turned to SCORE for assistance. They consistently met with their SCORE mentor to tackle their most pressing business challenges. Their SCORE mentor emphasized the importance of detailed record-keeping and focusing on profitability. Today, they sell lamb in 14 stores and continue to expand. Are you ready to take your business to the next level?
