LA CROSSE – Emily Boland – founder and owner of Hunt + Gather Grazing Boards – recently won the La Crosse Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Entrepreneur of the Year award.“On the surface level, I’ll tell you I started the business because I love meat and cheese, and that’s how I coped with COVID-19,” she said. “I think on a deeper level, I would tell you I started this business because I have three daughters. I wanted to be a woman they could look up to, not just a mom.”
After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Boland said she and her husband, a nurse, decided to homeschool their three children...
“I wanted to be an entrepreneur (because) I wanted my children to know what was possible, even if it didn’t last or if it didn’t work out,” she said. “I wanted them to not be afraid to try things and step out of their comfort zone.”
