by The Modern Grower Podcast Network
Carrot Cashflow is the first 100% business-focused podcast for small-scale farmers and market gardeners. Learn how to market your farm products better, increase sales, and get more customers. This show is for anyone who wants to run a farm business profitably. Each episode explores a farm business topic. Some episodes feature guests where we talk with a beginning or experienced farmer, diving deep into their story to determine what makes their farm successful. I focus on farming challenges and struggles, sales and marketing, social media marketing, farm startup, market selection, and work-life balance. Hosted and produced by Diego Footer's Modern Grower Podcast Network. Diego is also the co-author of the book Ready Farmer One.
