Ever heard of Lindsey Shute? The co-founder of the National Young Farmer's Coalition? Yeah, that Lindsey. Well, now she's set her sights on building another resource to help farmers: a new farmer owned software app called "Grown By." In this interview, we talk ALL about why she made it, how it helps farmers sell their product and get discovered, and why you should list your farm. Lindsey's betting that this app will become the "AirBnB" of the local farm scene, and make locally-sourced food a mainstay for more Americans.
