  • Excellent Imformation

    I appreciate the deep dives like the Lettuce growing series with Ray Tyler and the profitable mini farm series with Jodie Roebuck. This is so much better than a quick one session overview with someone! Keep up the good work!

  • Some great info, but…

    So many episodes have great info, but it seems like every 3-4 minutes is yet another ad for Paper Pot Co. No variation at all, just so sick of the ad Spam! At least find some other sponsors to rotate through, please Diego!

  • Really well done podcast. I live next to a farm that is part of a CSA program. It is a privilege to watch the fields transform through every season. There were so many questions. I wondered how the crops were selected, pondered about distribution, hiring advisors and community outreach. This podcast served up quality answers from highly qualified specialists. Entertaining, easy to listen to and informative,

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Choosing Microgreen Varieties
Q: How successful do you think that would be if every restaurant shut down tomorrow and you were doing only your farmers' market customers?
Clarke says he could add markets, shift toward wholesale, reduce or stop microgreen production, or concentrate on outdoor specialty crops. He emphasizes adapting the crop mix and sales channel to demand.
Choosing Microgreen Varieties
Q: Is color and texture the name of the game? Do people care about a radish having a little bit of bite, or is a pretty mix of different colors basically enough to move it?
Clarke says color is key to attracting farmers' market shoppers. Restaurants also consider flavor, texture, shelf life, and presentation, while wholesale accounts mainly want consistency.
Experiment, But Don't Lose Focus
Q: What would you say to somebody who wants to experiment with soil practices but should not lose sight that this is a business?
Hartman recommends keeping 85% of farm activity devoted to proven systems, varieties, and markets, while reserving 15% for new and exciting ideas. He suggests trialing new mulch systems on one bed before scaling them up.
Getting Started with Growing Flowers
Q: Would it be better to think about it from a position of like, all right, we're going to dedicate 25% of the growing space toward flowers? Or is it going to be we're going to hypothetically dedicate 25% of our workload to flowers? Or is it more of like, we're going to dedicate 25% of our potential revenue to that?
Albanese says she allocated a certain amount of space rather than starting from a revenue target. She explains that labor demands, crop turnover and the farm's wholesale accounts shaped how flower production fit alongside vegetables.
Getting Started with Growing Flowers
Q: Would you advise people to do a hybrid veg and flower operation, or do you think that niching down and just picking one or the other is the better way to go?
Albanese says combining vegetables and flowers can be lucrative, recommends keeping more space for vegetables initially, and suggests adding flowers to serve existing customers and test demand.
