Mike & Armonda of Rose Hill Farm Stop

<p>Hey folks, it’s <strong><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/farmers.rolett/">Jackson</a></strong> and today I’ve got a bonus episode of <strong><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/collaborativefarming/">Collab Farm</a></strong> with Mike & Armonda of <strong><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/rosehillfarmstop/">Rose Hill Farm Stop</a></strong> in Bloomington, Indiana. I attended a session with them at the Organic Association of Kentucky conference '23 and was really impressed. You’ll see why in a minute...</p> <p>Now, you may have heard <strong><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bill-brinkerhoff-kathy-sample-of-argus-farm-stop/id1441886206?i=1000604931121"> the last episode of The No-Till Market Garden Podcast</a></strong> with the great Alex Ball speaking with the owners of the <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/argusfarmstop/"><strong>Argus Farm Stop</strong></a> in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and thought, 'yeah, yeah, yeah... that’s great you can do that there, but probably not here.'</p> <p>That is exactly why I love Rose Hill Farm Stop. They spent some time at Argus and have adapted the model to be a producer coop and replicated it in a more rural area with a lower median income. We talk about how they got the idea off of the ground, how it functions as a producer coop, how they have solved some of the logistical challenges, and what the farm stop looks like a little more than a year into operation.</p> <p>You can support our work by picking up a copy of <a href= "https://www.notillgrowers.com/livingsoilhandbook"><strong>The Living Soil Handbook</strong></a>, <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/notillgrowers"><strong>becoming a Patreon member</strong></a>, joining our <a href= "https://notillgrowers.community.chat"><strong>free online growers community</strong></a>, or just sharing this episode with another farm friend you’d want to start a producer coop with?
