Farmer to Farmer with Chris Blanchard

065: Jeremy Mueller on the Farmer and the Farm


Listen Later

Jeremy Mueller and his wife,

Ashli, operate Excelsior Farm, just outside of Eugene, Oregon.
Together they raise produce for restaurant sales, retail grocers,
and a small CSA to make a modest living on less than two acres.
Jeremy and Ashli are starting their fourth year at Excelsior with
the recent birth of their daughter.

Jeremy shares the story of how

he got started with Excelsior Farm, which is owned by the owner of
Eugene’s Excelsior Restaurant. We get into how he has worked with
the scale that’s available to him, using a small tractor to keep up
with bed preparation and weed control. Jeremy and Ashli have a
reputation for achieving excellent weed control and working
efficiently, and Jeremy tells us about some of his favorite tools
and adaptations for minimizing labor while maximizing
production.

We also delve into the

challenges of getting started in the already crowded local foods
scene of Eugene, including evolving choices about markets and
product configuration that have helped them to grow their
business.
