I'm just learning about CSA I yet to have a complete understanding thanks for showing
great idea
What is a CSA?
Honestly I think a CSA is a great way to get quick capitol as long as you can provide your product. Thinking of pursuing that with my mushrooms. I love the road sign I should do something similar 🙂 thanks for the share curtis!
Just a heads up that like it or not you may need a permit for a sign like that depending on your location, so do your due diligence before (or just rent one and hope they let you remove it without a fine)
It's great to see small businesses flourishing. Personally, I have started businesses, run businesses, closed businesses from working in real estate, running a mobile nail salon, eBay retail home business to more recently urban farming and it takes a toll on you as an individual at least here in the United States with a lot of compliance, regulations, fees, deadlines. Here in the United States we are burning out, the stress level of managing a business, keeping money coming in. For a lot of people here in the States, these burdens are getting to a point of no longer being viable and so many of us are "opting out" by leaving the city as I will be doing. Others will just be done with it all and go do something else even if they are making less money. Here is what I mean: https://www.ishes.org/en/cases/2011/cas_id000132.html
Great idea! Thanks
This might get by in Canada, but you'd get in trouble really fast for using a road construction sign for your business in the USA.
Short videos are the way to go. No theory, no backstory…just how to get it done. Assume smart people are watching and we already have read and watched enough to just get the next video’s point.
Probably illegal in California…
Stupid question. What is CSA?
Hi. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up.
I live in the Philippines and I have at least 3000sqm of land which is just laying around. Do you have any suggestions on what kind of high-value microgreens I can grow and sell in a tropical country like the Philippines? Thanks
Thanks for all your awesome content and videos throughout the years to help Farmers and Growers!
What was the message he used on the sign? Couldn't read it on the video.
I used to do all the kitchen orders at this fine dining restaurant. Whatever was needed I'd make a list and then call in the order from their four major suppliers Meat/Fish/Produce for fruits and vegetables and this huge Wholesale company that sold us everything else. One of our most expensive orders were these microgreens, they were a vital component in the restaurants menu and were used heavily on the app station as the standard house salad, a baby arugula salad and especially to garnish. If you think a regular basil leaf flower looks good on top of pasta pomodoro just picture a few micro baby basil instead, it looks sexier and rejuvenates an already classic dish. But we never ordered them from our produce supplier, we had to order them from a separate supplier who only supplied microgreens. They were called "Cookstown Greens", and I always pictured this company to be this huge farmland with acres of crop a mile long, located up north in a community that had a proud culture in agriculture. I recently visited Cookstown an it was anything but that. It was your typical normal looking suburb community that had your typical middle class culture. Now Cookstown Greens was inside this normal looking home whose business operations were all done in their basement. A house inside a suburban community was the cities major supplier of microgreens, their neighbours had no clue they were farmers, lol!
