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.

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!

Discover how Academic Industrial Robotics turns the complex world of micro automation into a cool, accessible, and marketable tech space, tackling marketing hurdles and uncovering the secrets behind small part automation success.Here are a few topics we'll discuss on this episode of the Hard to Market Podcast.Why marketing industrial robotics is tougher than everMicroAutomation: Automating tiny parts for big industriesOvercoming space constraints with compact robotic armsCreative education & content over NDA challengesLessons in collaboration & data-driven marketing strategiesResources:Mecademic Industrial RoboticsPodcast ChefDevNoodleConnect with Sam El Falah:LinkedInConnect with our hosts:Alex Garashchenko - LinkedInBrian Mattocks - LinkedInQuotables:18:29 - I would say that is one of the hardest parts for us because of all the things around NDA. It's hard for us to do use cases. And one thing that we're slowly pivoting towards is kind of revitalizing the whole concept of a use case and maybe just call it like an application note. I know those exist, but for us, we refer to those as ways that we can incorporate the technical know-how of a systems integrator that knows our products well and just give us kind of like a step-by-step of how they created the automation without mentioning any industry or end user or customer. And so when those come into play, I find it super useful, especially during the sales cycle, because as humans, we really need to see it to believe it, right? And the proof is in the practice.21:11 - One thing that really helped us is maximizing the complementarity of paid ads like retargeting as well as lookalike lists. So from the use cases that were very successful but not necessarily open to public, we tried to market and retarget companies that look like them or similar to them. So that was a lot of work that was done on the marketing side. I know usually prospecting is something that we see around sales, but more and more, you know, sales and marketing start to overlap one another. And so we definitely try to help as much as we can in terms of prospecting through what we already know22:33 - As we're growing, maturing in who we are, we're understanding that, you know, having a voice towards 10,000 people might not always be as beneficial as the right 10. So we're trying to diversify. Coming from the banking and financial sector, I think any portfolio should be diversified, and marketing should also be seen the same way. So the more I diversify our initiatives in terms of prospecting, the more I can help better understand the audience that can really leverage are robotic solutions within their automation and/or production line.29:11 - So I think that one of the challenges with a lot of this stuff is you get into situations where, like you said, everyone's got IP, and it's all locked behind legal paperwork and all that kind of stuff. It becomes difficult in a lot of cases to do marketing to say like, oh, yeah, we do this really cool thing where we put this chip inside this other thing. Because if it's involved in a defense system or if it's involved in, you know, somebody's proprietary product, you know, you run the risk of getting in trouble. So you can't even tell your whole story, which is problematic37:21 - So make them, big proponents of AB testing. I would say the second one is, you know, always being on the forefront of the marketing landscape. I think the technical component, you have your SMEs for that. Just focus on making sure that you are your top expert within marketing. So whether it's webinars, newsletters, just be staying up to speed with what's out there, even if it's a trend. And then third component, I would say collaborating with all departments as much as you can, because surprisingly, a lot of them have very creative mindsets. So whether we're talking R&D, engineering, procurement, finance, a lot of great ideas have come for us when we do collaborate as a company-wide team.

When we asked what insect pests were bugging you, we got so many questions it turned into two podcast episodes! So, this week we sit back down with Dr. Anna Wallingford of New Hampshire Community Supported Research to answer the second half of the bug questions submitted by the audience. The first half of this podcast ran the week of 7/7/26 so you can still listen to that one if you haven't yet. There's also a free article linked in the show notes- cabbage aphids come up in the interview, so we linked to Dr. Wallingford's article from the June/July Growing for Market Magazine, “Scouting guidelines for brassica crops so you know what's OK and when to act.” In this week's interview we compare some of the organically-approved pest control options, like the difference between clarified and cold-pressed neem oil, and why only the former has azadirachtin. On that tip we also talk about why sub-lethal doses of some pesticides can make insects reproduce even more, and why BT is so well targeted to just the bugs that are damaging your plants. We also talk about controlling thrips, cabbage aphids, whether ants can be a farm pest, garden flea hoppers and tarnished plant bugs, cyclamen mites and more in this episode of the Growing for Market Podcast!  Connect With Guest: Website: New Hampshire Community Supported Research The Serious Grower Podcast Instagram: @nhcsr_ipm @seriousgrower Read Dr. Wallingford's article from the June/July Growing for Market Magazine: “Scouting guidelines for brassica crops so you know what's OK and when to act.” Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Seven Springs Farm Supply is a farm-based supply company focused on serving market gardeners and has been in business for 35 years.

What if your podcast doesn't actually need more episodes — it needs more intentionality? In today's episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest mistakes I see podcasters making when it comes to business growth. So many creators are publishing incredible content consistently, yet they're still struggling to generate clients, visibility, authority, or revenue from their show. And honestly, I think it's because most podcast advice is still far too focused on downloads alone.I'm sharing why intentional strategy matters so much more than simply creating more content and how podcasters can start treating their show like a true business asset instead of another marketing task. I'm also pulling back the curtain on my new eight-week coaching program, Podcasting for Business, and exactly how we help podcasters connect the dots between their content and their business goals.In this episode, I cover:Why consistency alone is not enough for podcast growthThe role intentionality plays in business-focused podcastingHow strategic positioning can increase discoverability and authorityIf your podcast feels disconnected from your business growth, this episode will help you rethink the way you approach your show entirely.Find It Quickly: The secret to achieving real business growth from your podcast (2:02)What we focus on in Podcasting for Business (3:53)The first run of Podcasting for Business (6:21)Growth does not come from more episodes (8:21)Mentioned in this Episode:Podcasting for Business: gaffincreative.com/coachingPrivate podcast series: gaffincreative.com/privatepodAli Haney's Brand and Market Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brand-market-podcastConnect with Haylee:Podcasting for Business: gaffincreative.com/coachingInstagram: instagram.com/hayleegaffinWebsite: gaffincreative.comReview the Transcript: https://share.descript.com/view/GobXjmY4GfzPodcasting for Business Program is now taking applications!

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium get a lot of attention, but there are other nutrients that are just as important for soil and plant health. In this week's interview, we talk with Gregg Forster of Wisconsin Mineral Solutions about some of those other nutrients, including the role of calcium as the “truck” that helps move other nutrients in the plant, the role of boron as the “wheels” on the truck, and the role calcium plays in improving soil texture. But like most things in life there can be too much of a good thing, so we also talk about how much calcium is too much. We also talk about why cation nutrients are expressed in ratios instead of parts per million, what those ratios should be and recommended PPM for other micronutrients. We also discuss why iron should be in a ratio of 2.5 times more than manganese, the many reasons soil should be slightly acidic, and lots more in this week's Growing for Market Podcast interview.

Garrett Corwin started Piedmont Microgreens out of his garage in Durham, North Carolina, and after six years he's scaled the business to 350-400 trays a week. In addition to the farmers market, Piedmont sells to more than 50 restaurants, grocery stores and wholesalers, including FreshPoint and Sysco with just a two-person team. As the business expanded, Garrett realized the limitations of spreadsheets for crop planning, so he enlisted the help of his brother Spencer to help build a better way to keep track of their crops and customers.  Spencer left a software engineering role at Meta to help build Microgreen Manager, and now it's how they plan their crops and is available to other farmers. In this interview we discuss how Garrett hacked his house to provide a low-cost platform for the business, how to get in with wholesalers, and what equipment he would buy if he were starting over. We talk about the functions of Microgreen Manager that make it more robust than spreadsheets, how Piedmont Microgreens has kept its workforce the same size even as they scaled production, how they grow everything to order and lots more in this week's Growing for Market Podcast interview!

One trend we've noticed is the growing number of flower farming cooperatives. We think it might be part of local growers banding together to increase market power as the American flower market bounces back from decimation due to the Andean Trade Preference Act, but don't take it from us. This week we talk with Carrie Read, the General Manager of the Seattle Growers Market (recently rebranded from the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market), which is celebrating 15 years in 2026. We talk with Carrie about how the coop is structured, grower fees, and the digital sales platform they use to coordinate it all. We also discuss pricing, and how the coop navigates being competitive vs getting the best price possible for their blooms. Carrie also tells us how they're navigating delivery and pickup rates in an era of tariffs and fuel surcharges, how they add new growers while preserving the equity of established growers, and what they've learned as the coop reaches the 15-year mark.

When Anna Wallngford got fired (twice) by DOGE from her job doing entomological research for the federal government, she formed New Hampshire Community Supported Research to keep the work she was doing on behalf of farmers going. If you can do community supported agriculture why not community supported research, right? Hear about the research she was doing for the government, what it was like to get one of the infamous “fork in the road” emails, and her plans for NHCSR.  Along with the projects she's got lined up for 2026, we talk about how research is funded, since this affects what research gets done and on whose behalf. Anna gives us lots of insights on biological control, pheromone technology and other integrated pest management topics. And she's looking for input from farmers to help decide which projects get done by NHCSR, so we talk about the prospective projects for 2026, and you can weigh in if one would be helpful for your farm!

Cooking Up Your One-of-a-Kind Signature Offer: The Four Ingredients for SuccessGuest: Deborah C. Smith, Marketing Strategist and Holistic Business Coach Host: Julie RigaOverviewWhat does it really take to build a signature offer that sells, scales, and sets you free? In this episode, Julie Riga sits down with Deborah C. Smith, a marketing strategist, holistic business coach, and host of the Mindset to Market Podcast, to break down four essential ingredients every purpose-driven entrepreneur needs to craft a one-of-a-kind offer. This conversation is your blueprint for intentional growth rooted in clarity, joy, and your unique story.Cooking Up Your One-of-a-Kind Signature Offer: The Four Ingredients for SuccessAbout Deborah C. SmithDeborah C. Smith is a marketing strategist and holistic business coach who helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs build simple marketing and sales systems that allow them to scale with ease. With two decades of self-employed experience, she hosts the Mindset to Market Podcast. Deborah and Julie met at PodFest, forming an instant friendship built on purpose and authentic leadership.Fun Fact: Every morning, Deborah hard boils two eggs topped with green salsa hot sauce. Perfect, perfect breakfast.The Four Essential Ingredients of a Signature OfferIngredient 1: Alignment with Your Unique Skills, Story, and Lived ExperienceYour signature offer must be rooted in who you genuinely are. It is the intersection of your expertise, your journey, and your lived experience. The goal is to speak to your audience problem in a way that only you can. This is the foundation of authentic leadership and a personal brand built to last.Ingredient 2: It Solves a Clear, Tangible, and Urgent ProblemDeborah introduces the house on fire analogy. When a house is burning, nobody hesitates. Your offer must speak to that same urgency. In online marketing, you have only seconds to capture attention, so you must speak to the right-now problem. People buy to get out of pain and move toward greater fulfillment.Ingredient 3: A Simple, Repeatable ProcessA signature offer is not a collection of skills. It is a system. A clear, step-by-step process is the key to your freedom as a business owner and your audience ability to trust what working with you looks like. Every service has a process behind it, and that is where your real value lives.Ingredient 4: It Lights You UpThe most overlooked ingredient is joy. If your offer does not genuinely excite you, it will be nearly impossible to sell. Sales is energetic, built on relationships, trust, and authentic connection. Chase the thing that feels like your purpose, and the results will follow.Memorable Quotes"A signature offer is not a random batch of skills. It is a very clear, compelling, and process-driven thing that you create yourself.""If you love it, you will find you can sell anything on the internet.""Sales is energetic. It is about relationships, trust, and connection."Key TakeawaysClarity is the foundation. Get clear on your who, what, and why first.Solve what is urgent. Speak to the problem your audience feels right now.Build a repeatable system. A consistent process turns expertise into a scalable offer.Chase the joy. Your fulfillment is a business asset, not a luxury.Your story is your strategy. Own your lived experience because no one else can.Connect with Deborah C.

In this week's interview we hear from Colleen McCoole Payne about how she and more than 20 other growers built the Kansas City Flower Farmer Wholesale Market to help them sell more to florists by working together. In 2023 Colleen started working with a few growers to create a wholesale market similar to a farmers market where they did not need to create an LLC and each grower would invoice the buyers that bought from them. Fast forward three years and now the market just moved into its own permanent space after using temporary and pop-up locations for the first three seasons. Though the focus is on the market, we couldn't resist talking about how Colleen overwinters dahlias in the field, dahlia harvest stage for maximum vase life, and raising brix for pest control. Back on the market side of things, we discuss how they structure the market, the digital sales platform they use and what fees they charge. One of the most innovative parts of the market is how they plan to enable 24-hour sales for florists. We believe cooperatives and collectives like this one are part of a growing trend that will allow local flower growers to access bigger markets by banding together, so listen to this interview for all the details of how they set up the market!

Jakub Kosmowski left a career in marketing to start the vegetable CSA farm Farma Wola in Poland. In this interview, he tells us how he adapted the marketing principles he used with Fortune 500 companies to develop a market for and sell CSA shares for his farm. Jakub tells us how any type of farm can use the four Ps of marketing- “product, place, price and promotion” to think about the big picture before putting effort into marketing. Then we compare the merits of the different marketing channels- email vs social media vs paid advertising- to decide which channels make sense for your farm and how to repurpose the same content across multiple channels. In the process we talk about how to avoid some of the mistakes that even big companies make with things like Super Bowl ads, and how to set realistic objectives for marketing campaigns. He has suggestions for how to fix campaigns that are getting good reach but not generating sales. Jakub tells us how he uses affiliate marketing with local businesses to drive CSA signups. We also discuss how and why it's important to think like your customer, and lots of other tips that will help you raise your marketing game this season!
