Supporting our small businesses

I recently read a news story of an outstanding teenager in Prosser named Walker Orr. Since he was eight years old, Walker has found innovative ways to offer a service or product in exchange for a reasonable price, from selling varieties of seeds to running a lawn mowing business.

Now at the age of just 16, Walker has started a small artisan bread company, Amber Artisan Bread, selling loaves and baguettes at farmers markets in Prosser and Tri-Cities.

How can we as a nation encourage budding entrepreneurs just like Walker and those who work hard running small businesses to earn their own success...
