Episode 51: Scaling Your Business: Lessons from Canada's Food and Beverage Leaders

Starting a food business is one challenge. Scaling it into a sustainable, successful operation is another. In this special episode of Friends of FEADies, we're taking you to Winnipeg for a live panel discussion recorded at Farm Credit Canada's 2026 Food and Beverage Summit. Moderated by Peter Chapman of SKUFood, the panel features Kevin Selch of Little Brown Jug Brewing Company, Jay and Colleen Wohlgemuth of Stone City Coffee Roasters, William Gould of Winkler Meats, and Pina Romolo of Piccola Cucina. Together, they share their experiences navigating growth, overcoming challenges, and making decisions that support long-term success. FEAD's Lindsay Toth also joins the discussion with a question from the audience. Whether you're preparing to scale or already navigating growth, this conversation offers valuable insights from Canadian food and beverage leaders. We're also celebrating some exciting news!
