How the Smartest Farmers I Know Stopped Competing and Started Winning

from Farm Small Farm Smart

A farmer I interviewed was doing everything right — certified organic, quality product, good prices, showing up every week. Three years in, the farm was cash-neutral. Not losing money, not making it. Then he moved towns. Same farmer, same crops, same methods. First market day in the new town: $247. By peak season: $1,500 days. Within five years: over $200,000 gross. Nothing about his farming changed. Everything about his positioning did. Watch the episode here!
