Podcasts about farmers markets

Radicchio has long been a favorite with market farmers for its ability to provide something colorful and delicious in the fall and winter. But with its adaptation to very specific regions of Italy, figuring out how to grow the vegetable in North America has been a bit of a puzzle. Luckily, Lane Selman puts that puzzle together for us with her new book Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable!At almost 400 pages long, the book is fascinating and covers the history of radicchio, the project to find timing and varieties that grow well in North America, and many recipes for how to cook it. Lane and her work with the Culinary Breeding Network has been instrumental in working with Italian seed companies to find and develop varieties that work for growers on this continent. So, listen to this interview and then check out the book!

About this episode: In this episode of the Wellness Pro Hotline, Cate Stillman sits down with Amy Glasser, founder of The Vital Well — an Ayurveda-based membership community for women seeking deeper vitality, hormonal balance, and long-term health. Amy has already done the foundational work: she has built her club, set up her classroom, refined her Vitality Checkup sessions, and established her sales cycle. Now the question is simple — how does she fill her pipeline consistently and convert cold leads into committed members? What unfolds is a practical, laser-focused coaching session on one of the most underutilized lead generation strategies in the wellness industry: showing up in person at farmers markets, festivals, and community fairs to offer free Vitality Checkups. Cate walks Amy through the entire three-session funnel, from the initial pulse check at the table, through the assessment review on Zoom, to the Sacred Sales pitch that closes the client into a year-long club commitment. This episode also covers how to handle time blocking as a single parent, when to offer certificates of completion and continuing education credits, how to create FOMO using a monthly club calendar, and why the closing call is simply about getting someone to defend their desire and commit to their health. This is the Wellness Pro Hotline: real practitioners, real challenges, real coaching — on the record. Key Takeaways: The Three-Session Farmer's Market Funnel: How to move a cold lead from a free vitality checkup at a community table to a closed year-long club member across three intentional touchpoints Discover, Desire, Defend: Why the Sacred Sales framework is the difference between a presentation that informs and a conversation that converts Certificates of Completion and CEUs: How to add perceived and real value to your club by offering completion certificates and continuing education credits without overcomplicating the process Time Blocking for Leads and Sales: How to structure your week so lead outreach, sales calls, and closing calls each have their own designated time — even around childcare and a split-location lifestyle Creating FOMO With a Monthly Calendar: Why showing prospects exactly what is happening inside the club this month is one of the most effective closing tools available One Claude Prompt Away: How Amy is already using AI to support session notes, client plans, and content creation — and how to go further Resources and Links: Fix Your Offer Session: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/fix-your-offer-session Wellness Pro Academy: https://wellnesspro.academy Yogahealer: https://www.yogahealer.com About the Guest, Amy Glasser: Amy Glasser is the founder of The Vital Well, an Ayurveda-informed membership community helping women reclaim their vitality, balance their hormones, and build sustainable long-term health.

When Corinne Hansch moved her farm from California to New York State, she thought they'd only grow microgreens for a while to get cashflow going in the new location. Now over a decade later she's still growing microgreens, and she just wrote a book about how they do it! Listen to this interview to learn why they never stopped, and how easily microgreens can add a steady cashflow to most farms without adding a lot of infrastructure.In this interview we talk about how productive microgreens can be in a small space given the high price per pound, and whether to grow mixes or single varieties. We also discuss choice of flat and planting medium for microgreens vs. shoots. Corinne tells us how she handles everything from germination to growing and harvest, so listen to this interview and then check out the book!

FREE Event: The Farm Marketing Fix – October 5th Sign up HERE Ethan and Natalie Brinegar raise grass-fed beef, lamb, and pastured chicken at Haven Hills Farm in Webster, Minnesota. They both work full time. Their daughter is two. They sell at one farmers market. Eleven months ago they joined The Profitable Farmer. Since then, farmers market sales climbed 60% and direct sales climbed 75%. Prices doubled over two years. They shut off shipping. And this February they used the 5-Day Sales Launch to sell an entire season of beef before the cattle ever reached the processor. Inside: why they abandoned a paid e-commerce site before it launched, how time management changed the way Ethan ends his day, what happened the first time they raised prices 20%, and the customer conversation that turned a "too expensive" into two packages sold five minutes later. If you know your prices are too low and are afraid to fix it, start here. Farm Marketing Fix (Free Masterclass October 5th) - If you're heading into another season unsure how to price or where to start, this is a full week of marketing help at no cost, and a real taste of what a year of coaching looks like.

Many market farms already have the facilities needed to grow culinary and medicinal mushrooms. Kyle Beaver of Ten Mile Mushrooms tells us how farmers can make use of existing infrastructure to add mushroom production for a year-round income stream that can help set your farm apart in the market.We talk about how to get started with mushrooms, and the temperature, humidity, light and airflow requirements for a grow room. Kyle helps us figure out what kinds of structures on farms might be repurposed into mushroom facilities, and how to find markets before growing anything. Mushrooms suffer from long-distance travel and refrigeration, so Kyle tells us how to package local mushrooms to keep quality higher than mushrooms that have been shipped long-distance and everything you need to know to get started with mushrooms.Connect With Guest:Website: tenmilemushrooms.comInstagram: @grow.mush.morePodcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:If you grow for market, you know performance is everything.

We all know the value of capturing our farmers' and vendors' stories to strengthen connections between our markets and our communities.

Jules Santana Velazquez joins The Rodriguez Show to talk about the creative work happening behind the scenes in Anaheim. As a Creative and Events Coordinator for Downtown Anaheim and the Anaheim Farmers Market, Jules helps organize community events, creates content, works with local vendors, and is now working to bring more live music and performances to the Farmers Market. We get into her creative work with local artists, from shooting and editing content to graphic design, event curation and branding. Jules explains why hip-hop has driven so much of her creativity, how she approaches building a lineup, and why she only wants to put her energy behind artists and projects she genuinely believes in. Jules also takes us back to interviewing Big Boy while she was still in community college, organizing through Si Se Puede, joining Titan Radio and Hip Hop Heads at Cal State Fullerton, and eventually realizing that events and creative work could become a real career. Plus, she shares her dream of creating an art installation at a music festival and gives artists some simple advice for making better content: figure out who you are and why people should care.  Follow Jules: @jules.santanav Watch every week for music news, dj mixes, artist interviews and more!

Father Sal returns for a full Q3 listener Q&A, and things get weird quickly. We debate whether having a controversial guest on a podcast counts as “platforming,” try to decode an anonymous tip about Sqirl's alleged lack of presence at the farmers market, ask whether West Hollywood is cursed for restaurants, and determine which LA spots best capture peak-millennial dining culture. Plus: which restaurants are worth suffering LA traffic for, where to send someone for their one meal in Los Angeles, whether LA is actually a sports-bar town, and plenty of recent eats, including Holy Basil, Ceviche Project and Pawn Shop. We also make a brief case for beer corkage fees, because apparently that is where we are as a society. And because it's a listener Q&A: keep sending us your questions, comments and deranged food opinions on Instagram, Spotify and wherever you listen.

Back when I first heard about climate change, I thought the weather patterns would stay the same, and it would just be a couple degrees hotter. However, as we're finding out, our changing climate is resulting in more extreme weather as well. This week we talk with Keith Carson, meteorologist and Director of Environmental and Science Communications at Maine Conservation Voters to try and understand if there are any patterns emerging as our weather changes, since being able to anticipate the weather is so valuable for farmers.We talk about why we're having more extreme weather, and how much we can predict the weather in a climate in flux. We also discuss how weather in the East affects weather in the West, and what changing weather patterns are doing to North American regional weather. We unpack some popular terms like El Niño, polar vortex, and what the strong El Niño forecast for this winter means for farmers. So, tune in as we try and make sense of the weather in this week's episode of the Growing for Market Podcast!Connect With Guest:Website: maineconservation.orgInstagram: @maineconservationPodcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:Nifty Hoops builds complete gothic high tunnels that are easy to install and built to last.

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara break down Cal Poly's divisive proposal to develop its own farmland, why people are questioning who really grows the food at their farmers market, and how a sweet corn reel could have you reconsidering the standards we put on farmers. Plus, Brantley Gilbert's Dirty Money doc has them wondering: what happens if farmers go on strike — or the next generation can't afford to farm? What We Discovered This Week

Memphis Farmers Market board president Inga Theeke joined Holly Whitfield to talk through tasty goods from a few of the market's 90+ vendors. MFM will celebrate 20 years Downtown with a Farm Fest fundraiser on Sept. 27.

We've been getting a lot of greenhouse tomato questions lately, so we invited Martijn van Stee back to the podcast to find out how they breed varieties to deal with the biggest challenges in greenhouse production. Martijn is the Global Manager for tomato breeding at Enza Zaden (means Enza Seeds), one of the top greenhouse vegetable breeders in the world. We had Martijn on the podcast a couple years ago to talk about tomato rootstocks, so we were really glad to have him back to talk about top varieties this time. We talk about how to find varieties that will work in unheated tunnels vs minimally heated greenhouses vs automated greenhouses, and what traits set these varieties apart. He tells us how they are changing their breeding to deal with increased heat and pest pressure due to climate change. Martijn gives us his answer about whether better tasting varieties tend to be lower yielding, where growers get their information from in Europe and lots more in this week's episode of the Growing for Market Podcast!

Martín Lemos tells us how his background in farming helps him evaluate the impact of projects Dirt Capital Partners is considering funding from the farming side of things. It is their goal to invest in regenerative agriculture projects, for example helping a farmer expand with a bigger farm. He tells us how they do investment for and with farmers, with making farmer ownership the goal. We discuss how farmers may only buy a farm once or twice in their lifetimes, so Dirt Capital Partners brings expertise to that transaction on behalf of farmers. He tells us how he works as a liaison between farmers and investors- not just looking at the financials but also looking at the potential impact of projects and the feasibility on the farming side. If you're interested in trying to finance a farm project, we talk about eligibility criteria, how to get ahold of Dirt Capital Partners and so much more in this episode of the Growing for Market Podcast!

In this episode of Hort Culture, the hosts are joined by Savannah and summer fellow Eliana from the University of Kentucky's Center for Crop Distribution (CCD) to discuss Eliana's research on farm-to-table markets and local agriculture. Throughout the summer, Eliana worked on price reporting, managed data for produce auctions and farmers' markets, and collaborated on updating a restaurant publication by interviewing local Kentucky growers and restaurant owners. The discussions revealed that restaurant owners buy local primarily out of an ethical commitment to supporting regional agriculture and acquiring high-quality produce, rather than viewing it merely as a marketing strategy. They also highlighted that the primary barriers to successful farm-to-table relationships involve communication challenges between farms and restaurants without a middleman, with experienced growers advising new producers to focus on crops that highlight distinct quality differences and stick to what they know rather than chasing every culinary trend. Ultimately, the fellowship helped confirm Eliana's career interests in agricultural economics as she prepares to graduate, take an ag law class, and look toward managing her own farm.Center for Crop DiversificationQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

August's Harvest was Canada's first meristem clean seed garlic program providing virus and pathogen clean planting stock to North America. This week, we talk with Warren Ham and Roshan Ghimire of August's Harvest in Ontario about how they started with the meristem clean seed program after it became clear there was a lot of pest and disease in commercially available seed garlic in North America after the 2013 season. This is the same technique that has been used for decades to produce pest and disease-free seed potatoes.  We talk about which garlic pests and diseases to keep an eye out for, and how being vegetatively propagated makes it easier for pests and diseases to catch a ride from generation to generation. We also discuss the feasibility of planting garlic bulbils, and how this could decrease the amount of seed garlic growers would need to save, increasing the amount they could sell. We also talk about phenotypic plasticity in garlic and how it can mean garlic looks different depending on where it's grown, plus growing and lots of other great info in this week's podcast!

Have you ever wanted to run? Hide it away? Run because they're chasing you down? Do you just wanna run, throw it away? Run before they're finding you out? Well, good news, Downtown Friction enjoyer, because our Poker Fun Run is THIS FRIDAY and we're runnin', makin' poker hands, and having a blast. You also don't have to run -- you can walk or stroll or roll or shuffle or dance, it's up to you. From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., we'll be hanging out at Les Gove Park in Auburn, running and making poker hands, and the top 8 win it all! So finishing quickly has no benefit—just luck (and fun).  Parks Coordinator Mackenzie Mullen joins us to talk all about it, and also the Farmers Market, happening each Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Les Gove Park. The market runs through the end of summer, with its last day on September 20. So much fun to be had, so little time.  Stick around and test your knowledge with gambling and Vegas trivia!

Greg Peterson says the only place that lack lives is between our ears — and if you've ever stood in your kitchen staring at 50 pounds of tomatoes, you know he's right. We talk about what to do with all of it. Greg hosts The Urban Farm Podcast (he just passed episode 1,000), and this one runs on both our feeds. We get into the harvest mindset, the one mistake that turns abundance into panic, and a long list of ways to put tomatoes, zucchini, and basil up for winter — including a few I'd never tried until this year. If you're new here: I'm Wendi Bergin, and I believe preparedness brings peace. Not fear. Peace. Chapters 00:00 — Welcome, and why we recorded this for both our audiences 01:20 — "The only place lack lives is between our ears" 02:10 — 40 tomato plants, worm composting, and volunteer tomatoes everywhere 03:30 — Seed starting and seed saving: what a grex is and why you'd want one 04:45 — Wendi's confession: she won't eat a fresh tomato 06:15 — The biggest mistake people make when harvest season starts 07:20 — Freeze first, can later — handling the early trickle 08:15 — Jars, lids, and buying in bulk before you're desperate 10:10 — Pint or quart? Wide mouth or regular? 11:30 — Why Wendi stopped canning seasoned sauce and cans it plain 13:40 — Why tomatoes need added lemon juice now 14:10 — Water bath vs. pressure canning, explained simply 16:00 — Tested recipes, rebel canning, and "when in doubt, throw it out" 19:30 — Bone broth and canning elderberry juice 21:10 — Fixing watery salsa, and the steam juicer trick 22:30 — Freezing tomatoes to release the water 23:40 — Don't throw out tomato water: stews, chili, and cooking pasta in it 25:10 — Roasted tomato sauce, skins on 26:00 — The two separate steps of canning: the recipe and the preserving 26:50 — Azure Standard, and what a bulk buying club actually is 29:00 — Freshly milled grain, Sue Becker, and the sourdough question 31:45 — Grain mills: NutriMill, WonderMill, MockMill 34:00 — Tomato powder and everything you can do with it 36:00 — Too much zucchini: relish, pickles, fritters, mock pineapple 39:00 — Zucchini lasagna with no pasta at all 40:20 — Preparedness brings peace 43:20 — Basil: pesto, basil salt, basil sugar 44:30 — Greg's 1,000 episodes and where to find us both A few things worth writing down The number one harvest-season mistake is walking in unprepared. Count your jars and your lids before the tomatoes come in. Today's tomatoes are less acidic than the ones our mothers canned. Added lemon juice is what makes water bath canning safe for them. Water bath handles high-acid foods — fruits, pickles, relishes, jams, acidified tomatoes. Pressure canning is required for meats and vegetables. Canning plain and seasoning later is simpler, safer, and more versatile. The canning process can throw off the flavor of herbs and spices. Follow tested recipes. USDA guidelines, the Ball Blue Book, your canner's manual. When in doubt, throw it out — the jar is worth more than the beans.

There's a type of heater setup that delivers heat right where you need it and can offer some important advantages over forced air heat, but we don't see many of them in the field. We think lack of knowledge about the technogy is the limiting factor, and it turns out there is also some customization involved, so we got ahold of John Wells at Rimol Greenhouse Systems to break it down for us. The tech we're talking about is called convection tube heating, and it has as much to do with how the heat is delivered as the specs of the heater itself.  The big difference from most heaters is that hot air goes into a plenum (like a manifold) that channels the hot air into multiple separate ducts that are attached to big, perforated plastic tubes that distribute the heat evenly through the greenhouse. The tubes typically run down pathways, and in vining crops they have the advantage of heating the air at the base of the plant, where disease tends to start, and rises from there warming the whole plant. In winter greens crops, it means growers can run the tubes under row cover and only heat the area under cover- meaning you only need to heat the fraction of the greenhouse where your crop is. Listen to this episode to learn about the specs needed to run such a system- plus best practices for cooling the greenhouse with shade cloth.  Connect With Guest: Website: rimol.com Instagram: @rimolgreenhouse Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Farmhand is the all-in-one platform built for direct-market farms — CSA, farmers market, and farmstand growers who'd rather be in the field than juggling five different apps.

Anthony tells the story of his two-year-old son Mason ripping the nose off a $47 Halloween decoration at the Bay Village Farmers Market, forcing him to buy it on the spot rather than negotiate with the vendor. Ken and the crew debate whether Anthony should have tried to work out a deal since it wasn't a retail store, arguing farmers market prices are more negotiable than a chain store's. Talk then shifts to Joe Thomas, with Ken saying he doesn't want a rough offensive line season to spark fan pressure for Thomas to become a coach, comparing that scenario to the old "Bernie Kosar for GM" calls the station used to get. The crew closes by weighing the mixed track record of ex-players turned executives, name-checking John Lynch's success and Mike Mayock's flop in the same role.

The Draft Animal Power Field Days are coming right up from October 2-4, and horse farmers Becky Frye and Donn Hewes tell us how they farm cooperatively thanks to a connection made through the Draft Animal Power Network (DAPNet). In addition to telling us about the ways to learn about horse farming at the Field Days, Becky and Donn tell us what it's like to farm with horses. They both farm at Northland Sheep Farm, one of the oldest organic sheep dairies in the country which Donn and his wife Maryrose Livingston took over from the original owners. Becky Frye runs Horsetail Herb Farm, growing certified organic medicinal and culinary herbs and cut flowers on the same property. Donn and Becky tell us how they share the Suffolk Punch draft horses between the sheep farm's mostly hay-related tasks and the herb farm. We discuss the differences between working with horses and tractors, and how it's possible to run modern machinery like hay balers and motorized sprayers with horses. So, listen to the podcast, then head over to the Shelburne, Vermont October 2-4 to learn hands-on at the Draft Animal Power Field Days!

Join host Justin Forman for a candid conversation with Stephen Ellsworth, co-founder of Poppi, the prebiotic soda brand that went from a Dallas farmers market stand to one of the largest exits in beverage history when PepsiCo acquired it for $2 billion. Stephen walks through the pivotal decisions that shaped Poppi's rise — rewriting the formula a week before Shark Tank, the branding fight that determined whether Poppi would be sold as a health product or a soda, and the negotiating table where his team turned down a $1 billion offer because it “didn't feel right.” But the most striking part of Stephen's story isn't the exit — it's what came after. He opens up about the identity crisis, isolation, and unexpected grief that followed closing the deal, and how wrestling with purpose in the months afterward reshaped his understanding of calling, generosity, and what he calls this next season: not retirement, but “preferment.” Throughout, Stephen traces how his faith — dormant since he was a teenager — was reawakened through the entrepreneurial journey itself, from a providential tax refund that arrived the week his mortgage was due, to the conviction that let him walk away from billion-dollar offers that didn't align with what he and his team believed was right. Key Topics: •      From a Wyoming kitchen to Shark Tank to a $2 billion PepsiCo acquisition •      The branding pivot that turned an apple cider vinegar tonic into a prebiotic soda •      Why Stephen's team walked away from a $1 billion Pepsi offer and a $1.65 billion Keurig Dr Pepper offer •      The unexpected identity crisis and isolation that followed the exit •      Moving from a Mormon upbringing to a faith renewed through entrepreneurship •      Setting up a Donor Advised Fund and learning to give with the same rigor used to build a business Notable Quotes: “Sitting where we are now, a $2 billion exit from a farmers market stand is just wild.” - Stephen Ellsworth “Pepsi is a huge system. If you're gonna buy us, buy us.” - Stephen Ellsworth “The idea of coming to know God more fully through [the entrepreneurial journey] is one of the greatest side benefits of the whole equation.” - Justin Forman
