176: Jan Libbey of One Step at a Time Gardens on Scaling Up, Scaling Down, and Partnerships and Networking
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jan Libbey raises three acres of vegetables with her husband, Tim Landgraf, at One Step at a Time Gardens in North Central Iowa. With sales through their CSA and the North Iowa Fresh Food Hub, the market farm makes up one of multiple streams of income that include cash rent and CRP income on their 132 acre farm.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We dig into how Jan and Tim have made One Step at a Time Gardens work in rural Iowa, with an emphasis on their marketing efforts. Jan shares the story of growing the market farm operation, and then choosing to shrink it again as the business matured. We discuss how they’ve chosen their investments on the farm so that they are mechanizing where it counts.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We take a deep dive into their carrot production and the crop rotation they follow on their hilly farm, as well as the landscape and habitat restoration efforts Tim and Jan have made over the years and how those fit into the life and economy of the farm.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perennial support for the Farmer to Farmer Podcast is generously provided by</span> <a href= "http://vermontcompost.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Vermont Compost Company</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pictures, show links, and more at farmertofarmerpodcast.com/episodes/libbey.</span></p>

175: Lauren Palmer of Bloomsbury Farm on Sprouts, CSA, and Community Connections
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lauren Palmer raised 15 acres of vegetables in Smyrna, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. With year-round production, a sprouts operation, a 300-member CSA, wholesale accounts, farmers markets, and on-farm events, Bloomsbury Farm is a thriving hot spot in the local food scene in Nashville.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We dig into how Lauren has built the farm from the ground up since its start in 2009, taking a deep dive into Bloomsbury’s sprout production, employment structures, and CSA setup. We discuss how she deals with extreme deer pressure and regulations, and how she navigated a farm divorce. And Lauren reflects on the value of four-season production and building relationships with her customers and community.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perennial support for the Farmer to Farmer Podcast is generously provided by</span> <a href= "http://vermontcompost.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Vermont Compost Company</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pictures, show links, and more at farmertofarmerpodcast.com/episodes/palmer.</span></p>

174: Jack Algiere of the Stone Barns Center on a Diversified Farm, a Close Partnership with a Restaurant, and Innovative Production
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jack Algiere is the farm director for Stone Barns Center in the New York’s lower Hudson Valley. Actively farming since the early 1990s, Jack has been the director at Stone Barns since its inception fifteen years ago. Jack oversees the extensive and diversified farm operations, including indoor and outdoor vegetable production, small grains, and a diverse array of livestock.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most of the farm’s produce and meat is sold to the partner restaurant Blue Hill, and we dig into how this relationship has benefitted both the farm and the restaurant. We also take a look at how the vegetables are integrated into the livestock and pasture operation, the half-acre gutter connect greenhouse and how that differs from high tunnel production, and the compost heating system for the propagation operation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perennial support for the Farmer to Farmer Podcast is generously provided by</span> <a href= "http://vermontcompost.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Vermont Compost Company</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pictures, show links, and more at farmertofarmerpodcast.com/episodes/algiere.</span></p>
