“We don’t rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems.” – James Clear
In this episode, host Jenny Marks breaks down the power of systems—how they can save you time, labor, and money, and why every farm (big or small) should have them in place. She shares real examples from her own farm, including:
- How implementing a weekly weeding system eliminated time-consuming hand-pulling.
- A harvest board system that keeps track of yields without lost notes or missing data.
- How simplifying ranunculus transplanting cut labor by 80% and saved thousands of dollars.
Plus, Jenny walks through her two-step process for creating systems that will make your farm run more efficiently and give you more freedom in your schedule.
Want to see how these systems work in real life? Join Jenny at her Lean Flower Farming: Systems + Efficiency Workshop on July 28-29, 2025, in Clifton Springs, NY (with an optional third day on high-earning high tunnels).
