Pasture-Raised Podcast

When done thoughtfully, farms can provide a great context for raising kids; especially when education is seen as life-long, and as wide as the real world around us. Dave and Ginger rely on their children to run their successful farm business with them. And they rely on their farm to provide the context for learning about the world around them: how to work and learn, or at least to fan the flames of the curiosity we are all born with.

This episode is part one of two from a great interview I did with Ginger. Look for Episode 22 to see our discussion on farm marketing.

I talked to Joelle Wood about her path towards guiding her farm as she took on a lot in 2020, feeding her community and seizing on great opportunities to grow her farm; all while holding to her aspirational values.

I asked some of our past guests to share their answers to seven questions, so that we could hear some unique perspectives on how different farms and farmers across the country are faring during the wild year that is 2020. Joe Koopsen, Jordan Green, and Ben Grimes all shared their answers to the following questions:

1. What kind of changes came in March within each of your market streams? (Percentages or other way of describing it are fine) 2. When was the peak of pandemic buying for your farm business? Where are you now in relationship to the peak and the pre-pandemic status quo? 3. What strategies have you been using to hold onto your new customers? 4. What have you done to adapt in order to meet the demand in production, distribution and marketing? 5. What are your guesses for what the future might look like? 6. How are you, your family doing, adapting? 7. Anything else you want to add?

Thanks again for everyone participating. Good luck out there with any and all future fluctuations!

All about how Covid 19 has affected Ramble Creek Farm since we recorded Josh's episode.

Mark Brady and I discuss the ins and outs of what our farms are doing to cope and thrive in these trying times, when it seems like everything is changing. The final answers to all the problems aren't here. But real-time problem solving and thinking is!
