Julia Shanks (from the Farmer’s Office) joins me on today’s minisode to talk about our soon to be published book The Profitable Farmer: Strategic Business Planning for Profit, Purpose, and Quality of Life.
We get into the importance of running a farm that sustains you and doesn’t burn you out, the four pillars that support your farm, and we peek behind the scenes at all the steps that happen between submitting what you might think is the Final Manuscript to get to the actual Final Final Final version of the book.
We also talk about how to get the 3 bonus case studies we’ve put together for everyone who pre-orders the book. Each case study is designed around a Cost of Production budget. One for a vegetable crop, one for a cut flower, and one for a seed crop.
Enjoy the conversation!

Lane Selman is the founding director of the Culinary Breeding Network based in Portland, Oregon. She is also a professor of practice at Oregon State University and the author of the brand new book Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable.
In this episode, Lane and I talk about the origin story behind the Culinary Breeding Network. We get into the importance of connecting plant breeders and farmers with chefs. And we talk about the importance of good open pollinated varieties in a shifting landscape where your favourite hybrids can suddenly disappear.
And then it is Radicchio time: we unravel the confusing nomenclature that surrounds this deliciously bitter vegetable, the precision of planting dates to get these plants to head up the right way, and the art and science of forcing Raidicchio.
I also gush quite a lot about Lane’s new book. I really loved reading it and it answered so many chicory questions that I’ve had for the longest time and so many questions I hadn’t even considered formulating.
Enjoy the conversation!
