Episode 110 // Callie Taylor Dayton of May Tree Farm
Today on the podcast we’re with Callie Taylor Dayton of May Tree Farm in Maysville, West Virginia (pop. 2,141). Callie is a tourism pro turned economic developer and has a big heart for small towns and small businesses. She’s sharing about her experiences with May Tree Farm, her family’s mountain grown Christmas tree farm, and also about creating opportunities for her community and why there’s a lot of rural opportunity right now.
You’ll love Callie’s heart for small businesses and everything she does to support other small, local businesses in her area, and we can’t wait to see what she does next! Be sure to check out the show notes and give her a follow on social media!
When you have a community that is proud of what they’ve accomplished, where they are, who they are, they’ll really rally around you and put good things out there about your area.

Communicating through social media and showcasing the really amazing things that we have going on in our downtown has made a huge difference.

We’re small. I would rather have one little grocery store than 20 malls in town.
