What is The Looney Farm and what is their unique approach to the business? Carrie Chlebanowski of The Looney Farm (a Certified Naturally Grown farm), joins us today to tell us all about her and her husband Joe’s farming operation. Located in central Oklahoma near Oklahoma City, The Looney Farm started their little homestead in February of 2015 learning to raise and grow as much of their own food as possible. After closely studying market garden legends, they transitioned their homestead into a very small, but functional market garden farm. Spring of 2019 brought a 4x expansion in their farming operations, and they are now growing a wide variety of premium produce for the greater Oklahoma City metro area. As you all know, every farming operation is different, and The Looney Farm is certainly no exception. Join us today to hear all about Carrie’s unique approach to the farm biz!   You’ll hear: What’s currently going on at The Looney Farm 1:33 How much farmland The Looney Farm is working with and what kind of crops they are growing 2:24 Why Carrie decided to become a farmer 3:27 What the typical day looks like on The Looney Farm 5:41 Some strategies Carrie uses for handling the heat 7:57 How Carrie handles task management 9:21 The hardest thing Carrie has done as a farmer 12:15 How The Looney Farm communicates with their customers 14:01 About the various investments Carrie and Joe made before starting The Looney Farm 15:19 Who Carrie’s mentors in farming are 19:45 What systems Carrie would put in place sooner if she could go back in time 21:18 About Carrie’s team 23:48 What Carrie’s children’s roles are on the farm 27:10 About The Looney Farm’s key marketing tactics 29:28 The biggest mistake Carrie sees newer farmers making 35:11 How Carrie achieved the right mentality to start a farm 37:27 Carrie’s favorite farming tool 39:52 Where you can find out more about Carrie and The Looney Farm 45:03   About the Guest:Carrie is a 44 year-old reformed suburbanite who moved with her family to their 10 acre farm in February 2015. In previous lives she owned an on-location portrait business and worked in special education. Initially set up as a homestead, her family dabbled in pastured pork and poultry before diving in full gusto to market gardening in 2018. In an effort to gain the knowledge of growing vegetables and building a new ag business, she invested in intensive trainings and workshops with internationally recognized market farmers such as JM Fortier, Michael Kilpatrick, and Ray Tyler. Since then, she has made it her goal to grow the best quality, most nutrient dense vegetables possible, and in that effort The Looney Farm became the first Certified Naturally Grown farm in the OKC metro in early 2019. She hopes to learn more regenerative practices to incorporate into their model of growing in the coming seasons. Building healthy soil is one of the top priorities. Carrie and her husband Joe look forward to working together full-time soon, and find even more avenues to serve the OKC metropolitan communities through the farm. The Looney Farm currently sells at the two OKC farmers markets, a Buyers club style CSA, and through a locally sourced grocery store.   Resources:Website - www.thelooneyfarm.com Facebook - https://facebook.com/thelooneyfarm Instagram - https://instagram.com/the_looney_farm

Thursday, March 28, 2019! It is a pleasure to be here! Thanks for dealing with my tech problems gla we were able to connect! Back in the spring of 2009, my wife asked me to plant a small garden so she could can some salsa for the winter. Laid off- started farming with a tractor on 2 acres (terribly!), got into chickens, laying hens, pigs, and even a few cows. And after a radical diet and lifestyle change that followed our Daughter health crisis we started to consume large amounts of Vegetables, a lot less meat and in the fall of 2015 we made a leap of faith to sell our meat business, stop using a tractor, and farm using only one acre. Our farming friends thought we were insane, but we were pretty certain that focusing on just produce would allow us to master the lettuce crop in 2016. We had lettuce for sale every week that season! We were so thrilled to discover that we tripled our income on half the amount of land that year! Excited and inspired, we knew we were heading in the right direction. By focusing on creating better growing systems in our produce operation, changing our farm practices, we now have year round production, a near weed free farm (which makes me thrilled nearly every day) and being really aggressive and creative about our sales outlets for our area, we have been able to live a sustainable and enjoyable life, rarely working in the fields more that 8 hours, which was one of our top goals! wife ashley – 5 kids 1981 Tell us a little about yourself. My name is Ray Tyler with my wife Ashley of Rose Creek farms down here in Selma TN Between Memphis and Nashville Mississippi border Kind of in the edge of that zone 7-zone 8 depends on what kind of year we are having trying to grow as much food as we can on one acre Battling the pests that never seem to die and the endless weeds thanks to the humidity raising 6 young at the same time! And having a blast! Wow you must have had a new baby! 7 month old baby to 10 years old so there is never a dull moment! How great is that? These kids being raised amongst others by a garden like this! as they get older we don’t make them work on the farm We know a lot of children who were forced to work who hate it all do the house chores dishes farm they only work if they want to and we pay them for it It’s created a very healthy environment They look at the farm as a very positive aspect of their life fortunate every year they want to make more money do more things so it’s a kind of tremendous joy So we are homeschooling as well so they are always with us. Now do you have animals too? When we first started 10 years ago, we had this dream of farming full time. When we first got started, for the first few years the farm was absolute chaos!  We’re trying to start a business farming things in the south raising children It’s a pretty tough market east coast west coast local food pretty tough gig! theres not a lot of information on small scale farms in the south so we were really carving out this farm from not a lot of info we could find anyways. We were on 2 acres 2-3k chickens 300 turkeys 50-60 hogs cows at one point 2 acres of produce with the tractor we were starting I’ll bet you learned a lot. We learned a ton! so much! we learned just a ton! we got at this point at 2015 when a lot of people start farming or gardening, thinkingwe have this idea of we want to have time we wnat to go out work the land of our family Get out of the rat race and the 9-5 grind and we wanted to farm to escape that Fast forward a few years and I was finding I had less time for my family before I started farming then after In 2015 we had this wakeup call, February 2015 greenhouses packed of transplants for production big...

In this interview, we break down how Ray got started farming, their drastic shift into a much more focused production, their diverse marketing to make it in a very rural area of the country, and the challenges they have faced along the way. In This Episode: >> The big change that Ray made in 2015 to simplify his life and give him back time on his farm >> How they attract and keep high-quality help on their farm and who Ray likes to hire >> The niche marketing channels that Ray is seeing explode for them and how they make that work for their farm. >> The importance of a mentor and how to make sure you value their input Full Bio Ray started farming full time in 2009. At first, it was a wide focus with tractors, vegetables, animals and more which resulted in an extremely chaotic lifestyle. Early in the spring of 2015 right at transplant season, Ray and Ashley’s 6-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a very aggressive life-threatening stage 4 cancer. After a radical diet and lifestyle change that followed their daughter’s health crisis they started to consume large amounts of Vegetables, a lot less meat and in the fall of 2015 we made a leap of faith to sell their meat business, stop using a tractor, and farm using only one acre.

Nonetheless more and more people flock to farming without any experience, not totally knowing what they are getting themselves into. One of those people was Ray Tyler... Ray started out like a lot of people who get into farming, he was inspired by to get into farming by Joel Salatin's You Can farm... He started raising livestock, and then life got real... Imagine yourself as a new farmer running a full-time livestock operation raising 50 pigs and a few thousand chickens a year.   And then imagine running a two-acre market garden on top of that...

Ray Tyler raises about an acre of salad greens at Rose Creek Farms in Selmer, Tennessee, about two hours east of Memphis and three hours west of Nashville. He farms with his wife, Ashley, and his five children, as well as employees. Produce is sold at farmers market, through a CSA, and to grocery stores in Memphis. Ray tells the story of his farm from its start as a mixed vegetable and livestock operation in 2010 to its current focus on specialty salad greens, baby root vegetables, and tomatoes on a small scale. We discuss the never-ending vicious cycle of failures Ray encountered in the beginning years of the farm, and how the life-threatening illness of a young child resulted in Rose Creek Farm’s transition from a failing operation into a thriving, joyful, vegetable production machine. Ray also provides insights into the challenges and opportunities of farming in the south – including a fantastic tutorial on summer lettuce production in that challenging climate. We also dig into how Ray leveraged an intensive education to make his farming transition, and the large and small practical changes that make it possible for Rose Creek Farms to gross big dollars on a small acreage.

This week I'll pick up where last week left off with market gardener Ray Tyler of Rosecreek Farms. While last week's episode was more inspiration, this week’s more of the perspiration side of things as Ray talks about some of his production methods and big changes that he made turn go from grossing $35,000 in 2015 to $120,000 in 2016 on less land. Ray's going to go talk about some of the big changes that made that huge increase in gross sales possible. He'll also get into how he controls weeds on the farm, and how he established a market for his product early on given that he only lives in a town of 2000 people.

We all know that running a farm business is hard. But think everyone knows how hard it actually is.  How much it can push you to the limits and test your to your core?   It's during those tests, when the world seems darkest, that most entrepreneurs throw in the towel.  The pressure, the stress, the money, it's all too much.
