The awards were envisioned as a way to celebrate and recognize the successes of New England’s many family-owned businesses. From those just starting out to those who have farmed the same land for more than a hundred years, the awards recognize the grit and determination necessary to launch and build a business with family, and to keep that legacy going through subsequent generations.
The FBA Awards Gala had some truly amazing people, families and businesses
that we are proud to recognize.
These professionals know how to work together to grow, achieve their goals, and give back to their communities. The companies represent the backbone of our local economy and their ability to survive and thrive is a testament to their hard work and dedication.
