“One of our favorite quotes of all time is, ‘The answer to America’s food problem is not one or two big answers, it’s many small answers.’ And we couldn’t agree more.”
In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Jesse and Lisa Vivian. Jesse and Lisa shared how they started Lane’s End Farm + Creamery. The original plan for the creamery was to make cheese but then Covid hit and like many others their plans had to adapt to the new demand of their community. Once their community got a taste of their milk, they had a huge demand to keep it flowing. Jesse explains how complex it is to have dairy cows and touches on some of the planning that goes into keeping milk production at a consistent level. Jesse and Lisa don’t want to keep their business model a secret, so if it is something you’re interested in, check out their course! Also be sure to check out their Instagram to see some of the creamery’s products!
