The Farm Stand at Famed Four Season Farm

In continuation of our Summer Farm Tour series we are joined, again, by the great Clara Coleman of Four Season Farm in Harborside, Maine.
In this video, she discusses the VERY rural farm stand at Four Season Farm, some of the history and nuance of making it work, and some things to consider if you're thinking of doing something similar on your own farm.

My goal is to have a small market garden. I'm getting ready to plant garlic in 2 to 3 weeks.

[@theburnhams2925]

You deserve the highest praise for your accomplishments! Imagine: To be on a promintory into the NORTH Atlantic (in Maine, no less...) and a successful business concern (in agriculture..!) is laudible, at the very least. Thank "Farmer Jesse" for the tip.

[@cliffpalermo]

Liking waking up Sunday mornings to a fresh upload. Thank you!

[@mominthe209]

This is a very smart marketing move. We all want something exclusive and just about croak when we miss out. If you’re open every day, I might think about it but likely never go. And your veggies look wonderful.

[@thatguychris5654]

Wow, if I could get the prices you see at 6:03 I would have zero issue switching careers. Until then, it's just a small side gig, at best, for me.

[@steverobinson5492]

Love the farm tours!!.......Thanks!!!

[@notaregistereduser3446]

Looking forward to more content from your farm. Have learned so much from you

[@manolopapas]

Thank you farmer Jesse

[@curiouscat3384]

Thank You Jesse - luv you!

Enjoyed the show along with the info. N.C..

[@chrisshepherd8708]

Awesome

[@kathydoherty]

Great to see For Season Farm featured. Wish more credit was given to Eliot. It would not exist without him.

[@FarmerCee]

I’m presenting at OGS as well. Hope to connect with you there. And Clara is awesome. Her #realfarmerscare initiative has helped many farmers.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Love it! I just purchased a shed to turn it into a farm stand for my cutflowers & vegetables, as well as to sell some items from other local crafters & small businesses.

[@marha2044]

Greetings from Indonesia, you are my role model in my farming bro 🙏🙏

[@itsEFY]

delightful and inspirational!! what a nice way to start a sunday!! Thank you for sharing

[@ourhomesteadclassroom]

You're right, Farmer Jesse. Oregon also has a Dallas and The Dalles.

[@vlunceford]

And there’s Dallas, Georgia, too!

[@makilahduncan556]

I had a similar idea whenever I was able to get my farm going. Glad to see that with the right work ethic it'll work well

[@fisterdave]

😅😮

[@makilahduncan556]

@@fisterdave I didn't mean anything sassy by that statement lol I think they e got a good thing going and I hope to be on their level someday. Even if it's in a different form.

[@chrisshepherd8708]

I would like to set up a self serv farm stand. What do you think?

[@YIO777]

That's called a garden. Just kidding. Do you mean like using the honor system and you just leave a deposit box for people? Or like Amazon-hand-scanny mark o' da beast kinda thing? Lol

[@pastihijau5043]

[@firehorsewoman414]

The prices seem pretty high even by organic market farm standards.

[@SutraDalang]

[@SenorGonzo]

The produce looks great but I think I will skip the seasonal salad shown at 12:39.

[@Samandcolbygirls.2024]

All I'm hearing from clare is how hard everything is its even to hard to take cash.

[@FourSeasonFarming]

I named (four season farming)

[@danphillips4590]

Cash only

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

A bit pricey on corn & potatoes. Everything else would be fair price.

[@GrowWherePlantedHomestead]

They should take cash. Sad to see businesses snuff their noses at cash.

[@tribalwind]

25% of revenue at a farmstand open for only 2 hours a week!😮

[@williammaxwell1919]

"2 hours equals 25% of the profit" does not equate to "4 hours equals 50% of the profit"... "4 hours will likely equal the same 25% of the profit"

[@florianweil2431]

Yeah, definitely some troll army here around the comments... these proce discussions 😅 if you deliver premium products than charge for s premium products... no one cries that premium apple products at high prices... definitely some people without basic pricing knowledge around

[@spaceantelope1]

No cash?! Doesn’t this kind of… contradict the small farm ethos? I mean, I get it, but still…

[@sdfjsdjfghssfgdsgvfs]

$6/lb for potatoes? That's a lot.

[@danphillips4590]

Very high

[@goodboysongs]

And $2.50 for an EAR of corn! I’ve seen as high as $1/ear ($6/half dozen) in Canada, but that’s $0.65/ear in the US, so about 300% higher than the most expensive I’ve ever seen. Edit: I did notice that the sign says “summer pricing begins July 1” so perhaps that’s super early pricing, which would be expensive to grow those crops especially if grown in a greenhouse, ie. corn and potatoes. I’m almost thinking why bother waste expensive greenhouse space on those crops but oh well, different strokes.

they pay a fair wage, do you think they shouldn't be paid for their work?

[@strawberryfuntime]

their corn isn't conventional corn, its very clear why organic non spray corn costs more, jesus.@@goodboysongs
