Description

Episode 28 with Emma Reisinger of Yellow House Farm is about finding your place in the industry that interests you, even if the road is slightly winding to get there.

Since 2017, Emma has owned Yellow House Farm, her small business that started as a tiny farm and CSA outside of her yellow house in Baltimore's Waverly neighborhood. Today, the business has evolved to focus on ecological gardening and landscaping.

In this episode, Emma talks about:

• How she found her place within agriculture and built Yellow House Farm while working as a line cook (which she describes as essentially working one job to support the other);
• Her business strategies for CSAs vs. farmers' markets;
• Her ideal clients, and how she manages people as a leader and a boss;
• How her business has evolved to focus on ecological gardening; and
• The romanticizing of farming as a lifestyle and the reality of her experience with finances as a business owner in the agriculture industry.
