ELLSWORTH, Maine — We often hear about the state of Maine wanting to attract new businesses to move here – it’s good for the economy and can mean new jobs for our workforce. But how does that happen? In the case of a company called Desert Harvest – it happened because of a show of hands. Heather Florio is the CEO of Desert Harvest – which used to be based in North Carolina. When she decided her company needed to move - they had plenty of places to choose from – but all the pieces fell in to place to bring them to Downeast Maine.
