Foodies to Farmers. Sounds cool right? Well in today’s episode, I’m chatting with Meg Neubauer from Pure Land Farm in McKinney Texas. A few years ago, Meg and her dad decided to start a u-pick farm in Texas, a few short years later, it’s an extremely successful farm! Meg will share details on their inspiration behind the farm, what went into finding the most ideal u-pick strategy (in terms of scheduling, payments, etc), and how important it is to listen to the wants and needs of customers. Meg will also share some cool news on how she is now writing a book that will help any farmer looking to get started at opening a u-pick farm.
