Running a Profitable Market Farm in an Irish Village of 700 (TRFP 35)

In this episode, host Alec talks to farmer Peter Lee about how he built a thriving market garden in rural Ireland serving just 700 people, proving you don't need a massive market to succeed. Peter shares challenges of Irish growing conditions—from polytunnel potatoes harvested in May to slow-growing winter greens—and how he leveraged farm mentorship to scale from backyard hobby to profitable venture.  Click here to learn more about farmer Peter and Bird and Blossom Farm.  Click here to check out farmer Alec and Crop Culture Farm.
