Stan and Briony Robert of Fat Carrot Farm have been producing high quality veggies for local subscribers and the food service industry for several years. They farm using regenerative and organic principles. This episode tackles the business side of farming: Stan and Briony share their experiences in selling their produce and how they transitioned from full-time professional careers to full-time farmers. But there is so much more to this episode - we discuss the importance of community, particularly during the recent lockdown of the food service industry, philosophies that help you be successful in farming, soil health (of course!) and we take an audio tour through their market garden.
Fat Carrot Farm is best found on Instagram here.
Information about CSA models of selling produce can be found at the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance here.
