Giving Kids a Head Start
When Mark Twain wrote “find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never work a day in your life,” he could have been writing about Melissa Laxo. Laxo is the site supervisor and family services advocate for the Sturgeon Bay Head Start Center, a non-profit organization that has been serving Door County families with early childhood education since 1984.

Peter hopes to help Grow Door County
Helping you experience the benefits of microgreens and native perennials is the goal of Grow Door County and owner Matt Peter.

The perennial part of the Grow Door County business helps residents introduce beautiful, native plants to their yards while also supporting the area's biodiversity.
