The Market Garden Farmer – Vegetable Farm Overview

Jason shares that 99% of the produce they grow on the farm they sell directly out of their farm store. They also manage a nursery retail business which requires them to grow about 400 different varieties of products.

Like many small farms, they have faced some challenges over the decades. One of which is keeping up with the cost of labor while running a small vegetable farm. It was difficult to stay small when there was very little machinery out there to make small growers more efficient. Jason says equipment they were using was 60-70 years old; it had been that long since anyone had made equipment for small agriculture.

Jason goes on to explain how he started working with small walk-behind tractors and how he found they eliminated excessive labor costs and made his business more profitable. But he was still running into availability issues and so when Tilmor contacted him about a new walk-behind design and a marketplace for small growers, he was excited.

Jason can now order his parts and be in production the next week. As he states, “anything you can dream of is available now”. He talks about the savings he is making by switching to mechanical cultivating and how they are staying competitive in the market. He believes that by making this equipment readily accessible, it is revolutionizing the industry for many farmers.
