This workshop will be held June 9-11 and will focus on production and butchering of pastured poultry, pork and rabbits. Note that spots are limited and only 30 seats will be offered for this workshop!

After plugging the workshop, Scott talks about how he collected all of the emails from his perspective restaurant customers for his fresh sheet mailing list, how he effectively used facebook advertising to get sign ups for his buying club and gives more detail about his tool cart he built. Drew discusses how his microgreens were killed due to his poor communication with one of his partners and how he has decided to go the portable walk in cooler route, and how he is going to crop out the arugula he planted because he used the wrong gear on his Jang seeder.

On this episode of PFUAP,Scott and I discuss everything we got done in the week. Scott continued to clean clutter out of his life, getting rid of his kitchen table and replacing it with an area for him to draw. Scott has been largely inspired by the book The Lean Farm: How to Minimize Waste, Increase Efficiency, and Maximize Value and Profits with Less Work by Ben Hartman.

I on the other hand learned that I need to spend a lot more time on my farm and that I am still a newb and need to cut out a lot of distractions in my life and start going lean.
