Hacking the Farmers Market. Tips and Tactics for Selling Your Farm Products Through Farmer's Markets and CSAs – The Urban Farmer - S1W19 (FSFS19)
This romantic notion of farming - working outside, hands in the soil, sowing seeds, and then nurturing those crops to harvest. While all great, and all true, they are just a piece of the farming pie. And this is where problem's start to arise.
The romantic view pulls people into farming, on just that, a romantic view, not a realistic full picture. And one part of reality is sales and moving product.
