Episode: Brisa Ranch: Small Farms As Distributors
Description: #266: Three farmer-owners of Brisa Ranch lay out a practical answer to a big question: how can small farms survive in a marketplace built for consolidated buyers and consolidated distribution? Their approach is to become “small farms as distributors” by pairing production with aggregation, cold storage, sales, and last-mile delivery through the Coastside Local Food Hub in Pescadero, California. A Real Organic Project certified farm, Brisa Ranch manages about 120 acres and grows vegetables and fruit on about 45 acres each year, with green manures, cover cropping, and beneficial plantings woven into their system. https://realorganicproject.org/brisa-ranch-small-farms-as-distributors...
