How did an 80 year old farm in the suburbs become a Stage 7 business?

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

 

In a prior life, I did construction and landscaping work and there is this garden center that has been around now for about 80 years.

They have about 20 employees, they do a very, very good business and they call themselves a farm in the middle of a very suburban area where there are no more farms, they have to literally grow crops on a certain percentage of their land in order to be considered a farm. So they grow fruits and vegetables, they deliver a significant experience they've grown with the times, they've added on products, they're the same size as they ever were. And here's the example of wanting to know what the value of your businesses is, they sit on eight acres of some of the most valuable land in the area without fail regardless of the economy.
