The Creative Connection

Laurie Crowell is founder and owner of Golden Fig Fine Foods Inc. The retail shop in St. Paul’s historic Crocus Hill is a locavores dream. The shelves are stocked with hundreds of exclusively Midwest produced items, and Laurie also manufactures a line of more than one hundred products under the Golden Fig name that are available at finer stores nationwide. With her retail shop, wholesale production facility, booth at the farmers market, regular television appearances, and a cookbook in the works, Crowell has maneuvered virtually every aspect of the food world, and loves working with others who are just starting their journey as entrepreneurs.
