Andrew Abendshein runs a container farm called Acre in a Box in Houston, Texas. (Read the whole article: university.upstartfarmers.com/blog/farmer-tip-sell-extra-produce-hurry)
Since starting the farm last year, he’s learned to deal with the thick Texas humidity and troubleshoot a hydroponic system.
One of the most unexpected challenges that Andrew ran into happened when one of his major produce sales fell through last minute, leaving Andrew with a whole harvest to deal with. Obviously, greens have a limited shelf life. This left Andrew wondering how to sell extra produce in a hurry.
The short answer: hustle!
When you’re in a pinch, the only solution is to immediately work hard. Andrew started cold calling restaurants, boosted his marketing, and bringing the produce to farmers markets.
