The Real Cost of Scaling Your Farm Too Fast (2 of 3)

You're Selling to the Wrong People (2 of 2)
Your customer probably isn't who you think it is.

Why Your Farm Will Fail Charging Low Prices (1 of 2)
There's a number most farmers never calculate: the minimum price you need just to break even. Diego walks through the math that separates small farms that survive from the ones that slowly bleed out: why wholesale is a volume game you were never set up to win, why direct-to-consumer is the only model that works at small scale, and why charging too little costs you in two directions at once.
