“This program helped me identify which products were actually turning a profit, so we could focus our efforts and expand our offerings.”

“This program helped us identify which products were actually turning a profit and which weren’t, allowing us to focus our efforts and expand some of our offerings—especially those for restaurants. It also provided vital information that I later used for grant writing.
In addition, I learned about several USDA programs. We’re now in the process of securing a hoop house through an NRCS grant, as well as funding to establish a pollinator strip. We began vending at local farmer's market and tailored our crops to that market, using some of the bouquet recipes and advice y’all shared.
Between the new revenue stream from the farmer's market (we started just three weeks ago) and the grants we received this year, we’ve earned $2,000 more in product sales (and we still have the month of December) and were awarded $18,000 in grants. Having a clear business plan and strategy is what really helped me achieve these things.
It is clear how much Jenny cares.”
