Immigrant-founded start-up latest venture from local couple

Juan Llerena emigrated to Waconia from Peru more than 25 years ago knowing very little about the culture or the business opportunities in this country. But he latched on at Mackenthun’s Fine Foods stocking shelves, and over the next several years advanced through the local grocery store organization eventually becoming its marketing director. He left there in 2021 to start his own business with his wife Guisela Pinto. It’s called JLLB Media, a consulting agency focused on marketing and business development. Primarily small businesses and nonprofits with a special focus on Latino and diverse businesses — persons like himself when he was navigating unfamiliar territory The couple also helped launch a fair-trade gift shop, offering sustainable fashion, home decor, and global accessories from small-scale artisans in developing countries to help them gain new markets and fair prices for their goods. And they founded a home daycare business “Bienvenidos Home Daycare” which operated in Waconia from 2019-2025. Now Llerena has started Vamos Impact, a Carver County–based 501©(3) nonprofit launched in late 2025. Vamos means “let’s go,” an encouraging phrase reflective of its two-pronged mission. The first, bilingual business coaching, delivering free, hands-on business workshops, digital marketing strategy, AI technology training and

Putting on Face on Ag Issues

Election results may change who’s making decisions, but the priorities for Minnesota agriculture remain. Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation Vice President Carolyn Olson says the organization is ready to work with newly elected and returning lawmakers. “Whether you lean left or lean right, you’re going to be excited or you’re going to be disappointed,” said Olson. “Farm Bureau is a nonpartisan organization and I think that is one of our strengths as well.” Building relationships at the Capitol is only part of the job. “Putting a face on an issue is one of the best things we can do.” MFBF is hosting its annual meeting, starting Thursday in Minnetonka.

This Century-Old Meat Market In Minnesota Still Cuts, Smokes, And Wraps Everything By Hand Like It Did Generations Ago

A Minnesota meat counter once rolled out dill pepper sticks nicknamed Dilly, and they went flying out of the case. That alone got my attention. The same shop sells Swedish sausage, deboned hams, and lingonberry jam from Sweden. It also still cuts porterhouse steaks, which fewer butcher counters seem to bother with these days.
