Balancing Dreams and Bills: Juggling Jobs and Building a Farm Business - Farm Startup - Episode 18

Update: 2024-07-12

Description

In this episode, host Diego and farmer Alec dive into Alec's journey of pulling back from his full-time job at Crystal Organic Farm and transitioning into part-time work to make more time to focus on his own business. They take a look at what going part-time has allowed him to do and what he plans to do with the extra time, and they even talk about Alec bringing on additional help.
