Going $1,000 Over Budget for a Second Farmers Market (TRFP 45)

Join Alec and Richard for another blog episode as the season shifts into full summer mode and a major new chapter begins. Alec breaks down the real numbers and unexpected chaos of launching a second farmers market, from doubling his harvest load to scrambling for containers, tables, and even a delivery van. Richard shares how the Jang seeder transformed his carrot game, why growing potatoes alongside carrots turned into a surprise win, and how their spring/fall-focused strategy gives them space to actually breathe in summer.   Click here to learn more about farmer Richard and Sun and Soil Farm.  Click here to check out farmer Alec and Crop Culture Farm.
