Field Masters
Women at the top of their game, showing us how it’s done. How did they get to the top? By working extremely hard and becoming a master at their craft — and by pulling up everyone else along with them.
Jenny Yang, Founder, Jenny’s Tofu
Available regionally, from Illinois to Minnesota and beyond.
Jenny Yang had always enjoyed the local staple Phoenix Bean. So when the opportunity came to buy it, she was not only determined to carry on the tofu-making tradition, but it was also a way for her to launch her own creations with Jenny’s Tofu. An added incentive? To help those who do not consume dairy, like her kids, by promoting the benefits of soy.
Lisa Herlinger, Founder, Ruby Jewell
Available in Oregon and Washington
What began as Lisa Herlinger’s farmers market stand in Portland, Oregon, is now a beloved ice cream sandwich staple. So good, you just might have to indulge in one of their favorites like Northwest strawberry ice cream smushed between two brown sugar cookies. Prep your taste buds in advance.

Sue Conley & Peggy Smith, Cofounders & Cheesemakers, Cowgirl Creamery

Amy Wright, Founder & Beekeeper, The Honey Hutch
Available regionally, from Florida to Pennsylvania and beyond
When Amy Wright’s grandfather gave her beehives for Christmas in 1996, little did she know she’d create The Honey Hutch and turn her business into 70 hives creating 500 gallons of honey a year. All of which Amy crafts into celebrity-loving lip balms, soaps, candles and more. And did we mention her love for bees and our planet? Yep, doing good does you good.
