 Exploring creative ways to make additional farming income by using your skill set and a look behind the scenes as I speak with potential sponsors. GUEST: Alan Stone (eFowl) Podcast Page: www.farm365podcast.libsyn.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/Farm365podcast EPISODE TRANSCRIPT by Lauren  Thanks to my lovely wife for transcribing this episode. Alan (eFowl): I think it’s awesome what you’re doing and I think you’re going to spread the word about your story and how a small farm gets started, and what it really takes to leave your career and launch something like that is really special. And I think it’s really exciting and I’m excited to hear more. Support for this podcast comes from WWOOF-USA:   www.wwoofusa.org   INTRO MUSIC Diego (Host): Hello and welcome to another episode of the Farm365 podcast, a podcast that documents the journey of a beginning farmer, and gives listeners (that’s you!) an insider’s look into the chaotic life of someone who is trying to start a brand new business, and not just any business, a farming business. Which, if you’re a farmer, you know it’s even harder. How is this all going to end up? I have no idea, but if you join me for this journey, I think it will be a whole lot better! So make sure your headphones are tight and snug and enjoy today’s episode. I am your host, Diego, and this is episode number 3. For this episode I wanted to bring you guys behind the scenes of the making of this podcast. You see, since this podcast is all about documenting the start of a farm business, and sharing real life events from my life as a farmer and a young entrepreneur, I think that an episode about why I started this podcast would be appropriate. And also, how can having a podcast help a farm? After all, I can be out there right now doing numerous amounts of chores or networking with the local community, trying to make new products and market them. Any farmer will tell you, there is always something to be done around the farm. So first the why? Why did I start this podcast? I’m a huge fan of other farming podcasts. In fact, for an entire year prior to becoming a farmer, I listened to as many farming podcasts as my phone battery would allow! I listened to it while painting my house, while cleaning the rugs to make sure the house was ready to be sold, while mowing the lawn. So I started the podcast marathon by listening to the Ethan Book podcast. Actually it’s called the Beginning Farmer Podcast. And then I was all caught up with that, and then I moved on to the Growing Farms podcast with John Suscovich; both awesome shows to listen to. So a big shout out to those guys! Thank you for helping me and inspiring me to start a career in farming. Your advice has been invaluable. The things I listened to, and now I get to live, are amazing. So with so many great farming podcasts out there, one thing I did not want to is create something that already existed. Those guys can do it much better than I can, but farmers aren’t always that accessible, so we can mix 21st century technology and bring their voices through your speakers or your headphones, and you can harvest the wealth of knowledge they have to offer. We need to revive century old techniques of farming, bringing animals outdoors and out of the four walls of a warehouse. And that’s a whole another rant for another episode. I don’t want to get there now, but let’s get back to the focus here. Now the How. How did I start this podcast and how will it not be a distraction to my very long workday? Again, I can be out there right now doing chores, repairing fences, making connections with potential customers, and this may sound like an obvious statement, but a farm is a business and businesses have to make money. No matter how ethical or noble, or charitable your cause may be, a person has to put all their skills to work to get their business off the ground and continue to grow it. I consider this podcast a digital enterprise of my farm, and since audio editing is something that I enjoy doing, I combined that with something that I’m interested in, and there it is! A farming podcast! Now to the second part of that question: How can having a podcast help my farm business? It can help in many ways, but if you’re a chicken farmer like me, raising chickens on pasture and feeding them the best non-GMO or certified organic feed that you can find, you focus on how can it help you pay for chicken feed. And the answer is, a podcast can help me pay for chicken feed by by finding sponsors for it! Now I’m not sharing this with you all to convince you to start a podcast so you can pay for your expenses at your farm. I’m sharing this with you as an example of you can take something that you are interested in or a skill set that you have and use it to help grow your business. And you don’t even have to build a website, or a prototype or even have a name for your product or idea. It all starts with the idea ...
