Farm or Fail: The Pressure of Making It Work Right Now - Farm Startup - Episode 25

Update: 2024-09-06

Description

In this episode, farmer Alec and host Diego talk about the finances behind two ways of starting a farm: when the farm starts out as a side hustle, and when the farm starts out as the main hustle. Farmer Alec talks about where he falls on that spectrum, as well as the challenges around navigating the financial landscape of running a first-year farm.
