Welcome to "What Went Wrong on the Farm Today?" the daily(ish) chaos report from a real working farm where everything is beautiful… and also somehow always on fire (sometimes metaphorically, sometimes almost literally). Each episode is a quick, honest, and occasionally ridiculous recap of the curveballs that come with raising animals, growing food, and keeping a farm (and your sanity) running. Expect farm mishaps, hard lessons, tiny wins, and a whole lot of “how is this real life?”

Episode 11 - Farmers Market Curveball & Government Obstacles

We talk about how the farmers market changed things in a way that throws a wrench into our plans and forces us to pivot (again). If you’ve ever built your week around a system… and then the system changed without warning, you’ll understand the frustration. We also unpack what it’s been like having slow traffic at the farm store lately: how hard it hits when you’ve stocked up, done the work, showed up… and the customers just don’t show. Then we get into a real, honest rant about how government rules and red tape can make it ridiculously challenging for small farms to survive, especially when you’re trying to do things the right way, stay compliant, and still make enough money to keep going. If you’ve ever felt squeezed between rising costs, changing rules, and an unpredictable customer base… this episode is for you. 👇 Drop a comment: What’s the biggest “curveball” you’ve had to deal with lately? 👍 If you enjoy the real behind-the-scenes side of farming, hit like, subscribe, and share this episode.
