Organic Gypsy to talk to entrepreneurs at WMU

The Organic Gypsy serves seasonal, organic and local food throughout Southwest Michigan and beyond. Bridgett Blough, certified natural chef and founder of the Organic Gypsy food truck will talk about the business at 8 a.m. March 8 on the campus of WMU.

 

Blough is the next speaker in the Entrepreneurship Forum. 

 

She is a strong proponent of the farm-to-table movement, and the focus of her business is on supporting the local economy, sustainable ecosystems and promotion of overall health. She pays close attention to ingredient sources by seeking out local farmers and attention to detail in its finished products, all while providing a truly local twist by driving to the customer. She also serves as a personal chef, caterer, workshop leader and retreat host.

 

Blough plans to expand her enterprise this spring with a brick-and-mortar cafe located in the Renaissance Athletic Center near the second tee of Harbor Shores Golf Course in Benton Harbor, Mich. The cafe's offerings will include a coffee and juice bar along with sandwiches, soup, salad, smoothies and baked goods.

 

The Entrepreneurship Forum is sponsored by Educational Community Credit Union and hosted by the WMU Haworth College of Business.

 

Her talk will be in Room 2150 Schneider Hall. Blough will cater the 7:30 a.m. breakfast. Reservations are required and can be made by contacting Kayla Hunt at (269) 387-6059 or by email. Free parking is available in the nearby Fetzer Center parking lot.
