Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chef Mikey Russo on Building a Farm Brand, Not Just a Farm (CC58)
Q: How did you establish yourself in your market and secure restaurant clients consistently?
I focused on social media to build relationships, reached out to established clients first, and structured my production around what those clients wanted. By talking to chefs about what they needed, I planned crops backwards from the demand, ensuring consistent supply and weekly deliveries.
Year One of Market Farming at 55 (CC57)
Q: Did you make the jump to full-time market farming, and how has it gone so far?
The guest explains it was about a year since going full-time, with significant physical and mental adaptation, and progress through a challenging season marked by learning and steady improvement.
$158K in 8 Weeks: The Farm Model Nobody's Talking About (CC56)
Q: What's the most important thing for someone starting in this model?
Start small, build an email list and social presence early, and pilot with a small number of customers before expanding; use the season as a learning phase and keep notes to adapt quickly.
$158K in 8 Weeks: The Farm Model Nobody's Talking About (CC56)
Q: How physically demanding is it to run a farm day-to-day, especially with a you-pick model?
It's very demanding; the hosts describe long days, lifting, weeding, and heavy prep, but note that the structure (seasonality, outsourcing some tasks) and the division of labor between partners help manage the load.
$112K Profit You-Pick Farm Model
Q: How do you maintain a profitable operation with so little infrastructure?
By focusing on a compact, high-output system: no wash station or cold storage, processing happens at checkout, season passes lock in recurring revenue, and you lean into high-demand crops with careful planting windows and strong customer relationships.
