Marie-Catherine Marsot’s received a $10,865 boost to her plans to develop a plant-based cheese business in Meaford that she is confident will employ in time more than 10 people. Marsot appealed to a panel of five judges to help her become the “Next Big Cheese” during the Meaford Chamber of Commerce 9th Annual Dragon’s Den on October 25 at the Meaford Hall Arts and Cultural Centre.
