I wanted to share this video because it really highlights something most people don’t see — how hard it is for small family farms to survive, let alone grow.

We try to compete with Walmart, and many times we’re at their price point or even below. But this last season, with crop loss and weather impacts, we simply couldn’t compete with corporate pricing. When margins are already razor thin, one bad year makes it nearly impossible to generate enough capital to reinvest without overextending the farm through financing.

Food security is something many people miss in this conversation. Fresh, local produce doesn’t just appear — it takes risk, infrastructure, labor, and long-term investment. When corporate giants dominate commodities and processing, it pushes small producers into tighter and tighter corners.

I have a degree in manufacturing management with an emphasis in food plant engineering, and my goal is to grow our farm in ways that add capability — including food processing — so we can build stronger local food systems and real resilience.

It’s not just about farming. It’s about community, sustainability, and protecting access to fresh food.

This video explains it well — worth the watch. 🌱

Walmart found a creative, illegal way to make sure they have the lowest prices.They're forcing companies to raise prices on any competitor who dares to sell ...
