In this episode, we dive into some insider secrets to farmers market success courtesy of Brian Strickland, Director of the Athens Farmers Market. Brian and host Alec dig into why working at an established farm first can save you thousands of dollars, how to choose the right market for your scale, and the presentation tactics that make or break your booth. Brian shares the hard-won wisdom that helped Alec make the jump from a small-town market to thriving at one of Georgia's premier farmer's markets in just one season.

In this episode, we talk to Patrick Samuels of Sunnyside Egg Co. as he shares how he scaled from 50 backyard chickens to 7,000 birds across multiple farms in just 6 months—all while staying true to regenerative principles.

Not only that, we also uncover the shocking truth about what "pasture raised" really means in the commercial egg industry, why the co-op model crushes the solo farmer approach, and how profitable partnerships can reduce overall operating costs by 50% or more.

We're mixing it up in this new farm blog episode as host Alec welcomes a returning guest, Richard from Sun & Soil Farm, for an unfiltered conversation about the challenges and successes they've had this past growing season.
