One good tool can completely change the economics of a small farm—especially when it solves a job that quietly eats away at your time. In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan from Farmers Friend to hear the story behind the Greens Harvester and how a challenge from Elliot Coleman sparked years of prototypes, problem-solving, and innovation. We also explore how listening closely to growers has shaped everything from silage tarps to tunnels and tools designed to make small farms more efficient.

We also dig into the practical side of farm infrastructure, including tunnel placement, season extension, weed suppression, and why ergonomics matter when your body is one of your most valuable farm assets. For flower growers, we talk about dedicated planting patterns for Quick-Plant landscape fabric that can simplify spacing and save hours in the field. If you’re looking for smarter ways to grow, protect your crops, and make farm work more sustainable, this conversation is packed with ideas worth considering.
