Episode #155: Joel Rants about Farm Raids on Nourish Co-Op and Amos Miller

Farmer Joel gets fired up and he explores the cautionary tales of the farm raids on both Amos Miller and Nourish Co-Op.  What went wrong in those two cases

Joel shares how both farms relied on social media for their customer base, neglecting local connections.  This approach left these businesses vulnerable when faced with federal scrutiny, as they lacked a strong local support network to stand with them.

Joel emphasizes that while promoting healthy food and utilizing shipping can be valuable, the foundation of a resilient food business should be built on physical, local relationships.

This episode serves as a reminder that while the internet is a powerful tool for spreading messages and connecting with customers, it should complement, not replace, the vital local connections that form the backbone of a sustainable and resilient food business.
