About Martin Butts
Local food advocate, entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and the owner of Small Potatoes, a boutique consulting firm that specializes in working with food businesses of all kinds. I have spoken at conferences and summits around the country, including at TEDxUtica in October 2013. I have also spoken at universities, community centers, grocery stores, private homes, city parks, and on stairways and wooden crates. Topics include starting and growing food businesses, community supported agriculture, crowdfunding, food cultures, and a wide variety of food system topics. I have over 20 years experience working with farmers, food producers, retailers, distributors, consumers, not for profits, farmers markets, technology companies, restaurants, publications, and universities. My focus is on developing fair and sustainable food systems that support independent businesses and healthier communities.
