Helping a Business Navigate Exponential Growth
Johnny’s Selected Seeds is a Maine success story. What started as a fledgling business in a farmhouse attic in the 1970s grew into an international seed purveying powerhouse with over 400 employees, a research and development arm, and a diverse client base. Headquartered in Winslow, Maine, Johnny’s is 100% employee-owned. When the pandemic hit, their business exploded as more and more people explored growing their own food and planting home gardens. As their seed inventory increased to meet the booming demand, and supply chain disruptions began to present new challenges, Johnny’s Director of Finance Michelle Pyle began to consider “what if” scenarios the company had never thought of before. United Insurance was able to be a resource and a partner for Michelle. “For me, Ryan [Madore] and United Insurance are a huge sounding board for my questions and concerns as we evolve. I want to know, are we adequately covered?”
