Building a Thriving Farm Business From Zero Infrastructure (TRFP 49)

This week, rookie farmer Alec sits down with farmer Mike Hedge of Hedge Family Farm in Happy Valley, NC, as he shares how he and his wife Sara put in the work to turn raw, undeveloped land into a thriving market garden operation, growing everything from sweet potatoes and watermelons to rare Fioretto cauliflower. Before the episode ends, farmer Mike might also even convert you into incorporating longer-season crops into your crop plan!
