The Round Up is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves workshop for small business owners, hosted by Mary and Brian Heffernan at Five Marys and Pastures of Grace ranches in far Northern California. You'll tour the whole Five Marys operation from the inside, learn the tools we use every day, and dive into workshops on getting scrappy to do your own branding, websites, and marketing, plus relevant topics like using AI to streamline and grow your business on a budget. You'll leave with real progress and a plan of action.
