GAP Miniseries Extra: Producing Carrots Efficiently

The last four episodes of the podcast made up a miniseries about GAP Certification for small and medium-scale farms. The main focus of this miniseries was the work of Okanagan farmer Emily Jubenvil to obtain GAP certification for her carrots and beets in order  to preserve and expand her access to wholesale markets. The series is essentially done, but as I promised last week, I’m back with one more short episode that doesn’t have anything to do with GAP certification.

At one point in my interviews with Emily we went on a bit of a tangent about becoming a more efficient carrot producer. I think this will be relevant to any small-scale farmer who’s considering scaling up one or more crops in order to sell bulk quantities to wholesale buyers...Emily does a great job summarizing the changes she had to make.
