This Tuesday, Dickinson County CEO students visited Wilken's Acres. Jeff & Tina Wilkens, the founders behind Wilken's Acres, shared their journey of building their business from scratch. Their story is a testament to perseverance, showcasing the ups and downs of entrepreneurial life. Tina's words of encouragement, addressing our students' current challenges, reminded them that challenges are just stepping stones on the path to success.

The visit wasn't just about stories; it was a hands-on experience exploring a variety of products that fill the store's shelves. Each item, curated from Kansas-based businesses, offered a unique look into how businesses of all sizes package, partner, and present their products to the world.

It was an eye-opening visit that underscored the importance of supporting local businesses and demonstrated the diverse entrepreneurial spirit alive in Kansas. 🌻
