I did my first sale yesterday 6 lbs of musclun mix and chef tried it and said wow I'm cancelling all my orders from Sysco food. That was the greatest feeling, then the chef said I need 12 lbs more for the weekend. Great video Josh

I was an Exec Chef for almost 10 yrs, then went to the army and got injured. I've gone back to gardening and I am putting together a market garden this year. I'm looking forward to engaging with chefs again. I can tell you from my experience, there is a strong bond between chefs and farmers. I can't wait to talk shop with them again and pick back up on the constant changing food trends. Josh, you are fueling this fire for me to get back out there. I can't thank you enough.

Hey Gabe, Army vet here as well. Sorry you got injured brother, thank you for making that sacrifice. Just wanted to let you know about the NRCS Equip High Tunnel grants that are out there for helping Veterans become Farmers. It's been a game changer for me. If you are interested, find your local USDA office and ask them about the NRCS Equip Grants available. All the best to you! Pmac

Try hiring a programmer and make an application. You would use it, then you sell it or make it free and charge companies to advertise on it (unless they buy the app then remove ads). Make an account, have them start a "farm", then see how about programming rows, their length and plug plants in place etc for mapping, then a calculator to add pounds or numeric produce as you walk by produce on the stalk.
