The reason you are successful & can compete is bc you are organized (& smart). Good job!
Thank you 🙏
totally a professional operation. I always look for the smaller growers at market, and pay with cash becasue I want them to succeed!!
@@lorib5323 thank you 🙏
Keep grinding my man! Your stuff looks great! That 2K day is probably just around the corner. Just don't get burned out in the mean time. It happens before you know it! I've always thought about turning an enclosed trailer into a giant cooler. It was one of the first ideas I had after our first market. You're the first I've seen actually do it! Freakin sweet!
Thank you! I appreciate the positive feedback 🙏 I have a couple people who work for me too. So I don’t actually do all of the work by myself.
There is nothing more admirable than someone who develops such a fine and efficient system! I love the thinking behind this AND your beautiful garden! Looking forward to more content on how you plan your growing season... If it's anything like the market setup, I'm sure we can all learn something new. Thanks man!
Thanks so much 🙏 I appreciate your kind words🙏
Omg, that was so much fun. Thank you so much for taking us along. So glad I found this in my recommendations. Appreciate all of your hard work and the video.
Thank you! I really appreciate you positive feedback 🙏
Man, that was some impressive hustling - I'm worn out before my work day is to begin. I'm 67, and helping my daughter take care of some animals in this sweltering Texas heat. Got a cold front yesterday and the temps dropped below 100!
Loved the video - very inspirational; gotta sub!
Thank you! I appreciate it 🙏
I grow bedding plants, etc… for a Farmer’s Market in Moose Lake, MN. Granted I am 68 years old but I couldn’t do it without the help of my daughter and grandchildren. Watching your set up is amazing!!!
Yes! It’s not easy for the average person for sure! Thanks for watching 🙏
Damn, that's impressive, and a lot of work!
Thank you 🙏
Not just a cool set up for the market, but a great video too! Multi-tasker.
Thank you! I appreciate it! I have a ton of content recorded! I struggle to edit it though. I’m finally starting to get the hang of it! But now my computer can’t keep up 🤦🏻♂️ so hopefully I’ll be able to get a new computer soon! But I hope to start putting out high quality content weekly, soon! Thanks for your support! I appreciate it 🙏
Mofo is jacked whilst gardening and im here for it!
New sub!
Thank you! I appreciate it! I do 100 burpees everyday 💪💪💪
@@chefsharvestfarm impressive, do you also go gym or just the burpees?
@@OscarsEditing I go to planet fitness. But I don’t lift weights. This is my set with no rest: 15 burpees, directly into 15 push ups, into 15 pull ups, 15 dips, 50 lay flat sit ups. Then 30 second break. And do it again! 4-5 sets. Total time working out is about 20 minutes 2-3 days per week. And I spend 30 minutes to an hour stretching. And I don’t eat sugar. That’s it 🤷🏻♂️ sometimes I throw 50 air squats in there instead of push ups
@@chefsharvestfarm legend, will try this, thanks!
My Bruh!! i’m at a loss for words.. you sir are a BAD ASS and an inspiration!! Been watching these sort of videos for weeks with wifey as we plan our exit from Miami (here for 45 years).. Looking at Ocala Fl and Georgia.. Imagining doing exactly what you are doing .. I’ve been a cannabis cultivator and more recently a consultant on large scale commercial projects .. have zero interest in staying in this field .. The Lord is calling us out of this world .. Thank you so much for your channel.. Wishing you all the best! …BEST most inspiring small farm videos on youtube!
@@kristiangrant5397 I really appreciate your positive feedback 🙏 thanks so much! I wish you the best! And hope to continue and inspire! Thanks for following along 🙏
Mate! You are an inspiration. Hard working, relatable, and clearly full of great energy for life and living. You're the man!!!! 👍😎💪
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it 🙌
Awesome Job! I like the way you stress using the dolly for heavy loads, also when you ran from parking your truck. You have this game figured out for sure!
@@robertallen4842 thank you 🙏
I am so impressed by you doing everything yourself, that is some hard work, and so organized, it looks quite amazing, take care my friend and keep yourself in good health!
Thank you 🙏

Glad you enjoyed it! You’re welcome!Thanks for dropping a comment 🙏
Way to rock it. As someone starting out this was super helpful to see the "day in the life" type glimpse into the hustle. I'm constantly reminded how much you can max a grow space out. Well done man!!
@@thekaimander5264 thank you 🙏 I’m glad it’s helpful information 🙌

This was an inspiration to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙏
You have a cadence and intonation that reminds me of Corey from trailer park boys. Its amazing!
Haha! I’m definitely not your typical farmer or market gardener I would say 🤣 thanks for watching 🙏
Great video. Thx for posting that. Well done
Thank you 🙏
Great video. That's a lot of hard work but also looks so satisfying. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I definitely do it for the lifestyle, not the money!
Your set up looks amazing! I would love to see more videos on how you clean and prep the vegetables for the farmer's market and how you made that cool trailer. You make me want to start a garden. I'm so glad I saw your video! ❤
Thanks Ms. Tracy! I will work on those videos soon! I appreciate your positive feedback! Thank you 🙏
Such a useful video! Thank you so much for sharing this dude! Legend!

Thank you so much for sharing this. You have an awesome operation!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Your organization and know-how is impressive sir!! Well done!🥳
Thank you 🙏
This was amazing to watch. Just the thought of seeing you do it all alone is freaking amazing it gives us motivation to know that we too can do it.
Thank you! It’s definitely possible! But not for the faint hearted!
Outstanding and greatly appreciated video/channel! Rock Island, TN here, and 1st year selling my plants at local market/flea markets. Doing it on less than a quarter acre.
You are definitely right about it being a close knit community, friends 4 life. I'm thinking about going to the Chattanooga and Nashville market next year.
Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! Wishing you the best of luck at your markets 🙏
Awesome video! I can see that you are passionate and an extraordinary businessman! Everything is well done and thought out ! So much hard work and resilience to manage a homestead and run your business!
Thanks for sharing! 👏🏾👏🏾😊
Hello from Long Island, New York (suburbs) ! 👋🏽😊🇺🇸

Great video brother. I love to see people working hard. Wish you the best. Great success!!
Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏
Such a smart and COOL operation ya have here Chef Mikey, its COOL to see ya'll up north selling produce the way we do here in central Mexico, it's always a blast for me to go to the tianguis (market in náhuatl).Thanks for sharing, 👍and 👋from central Mexico.🤠
Hey! Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support 🙏
Killer setup!! Love the setup, workflow & attitude.
Thank you 🙏
Nice setup and market! I also brought my cooler trailer to my market. Such a game changer to keep produce cold.
Heck yeah 🙌 thank you 🙏 really helps with profitability too. Before I would just toss any greens after the market. But using the trailer I can still sell that product on my Tuesday deliveries because it stays cold all market.
Awesome video! I loved being along for the ride! Your girl is a lucky lady, you're intelligent, funny, and good looking! Keep up the awesome work!
@@kaleyjanenigh thank you 🙏

Dude this video was awesome.. please continue to take us with you every week.. and a video of what you sell to restaurants and chefs would be cool with pricing .!!
Thanks man! I really appreciate the encouragement! I actually started to record my deliveries today and I’ll plan to record Friday delivery too and see if I can get it edited quickly. Kinda show how I do it. How I made the relationships etc.
@@chefsharvestfarm yea that would be awesome to see how you do everything, you are definitely doing a great job and hustling everyday..

New subscriber, you definitely impressed me with your abilities of growing for market. Well done!
@@justpatty7328 thanks for the support 🙏
Just subscribed. Glad to see you are so close. My grandaughter and I have a small channel here in knoxville. We garden, raise chickens, and rabbits. Looking forward to catches up on your videos. Take care. Going to try and get down town soon to check out your set up.
That’s amazing! I had a couple people come find me at the market this weekend because they saw this video! Pretty neat! I’m down on market square every Saturday till new years! Come say hi anytime 🙏
Man, you're inspirational. I am just setting up a 30 x 50 garden area for growing next year and ran across your video. Keep plugging away at your videos brother. Your channel will be big one day.
I will be going g through your playlist for sure.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your enthusiasm 🙏 I was right where you are just a few years ago! I’ll hope to share everything about how I got here eventually. Finally starting to figure out the RUclips thing. So I’m hoping to be able to help you get to where you want to be! Thanks for following along 🙌
gonna use u as inspiration for showcasing my gardening at markets, thank you
Heck yeah 🙌 thanks for following along! And giving me encouragement ! I appreciate it 🙏
Your amazing, looks like wonderful healthy food.
Thank you 🙏 i appreciate it 🙌
With your work ethic you will succeed at anything you do in life.
Thank you 🙏
Impressive!!!!
Thank you 🙏
This is awesome man I’ve been subscribed for sometime, I’m in TN would love to try some of your food!
Thank you! I’m at Market Square Farmers market in Knoxville every Saturday from 9am-1pm until Christmas.
Corey from Trailer Park Boys really made it! Congrats 💪
@@user-zn8bj3ww1k haha! Someone else made a similar comment 🤣🤣 I gotta look him up! I don’t know who that is! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it 🙏
Just found your channel and it’s awesome. Our church was wanting to do something similar to this but it would have to be some other day than Saturday. That’s our church day but we couldn’t get organized. Some of the team bailed on us and we gave up. We are mostly old people who have bad backs and knees. 😢
It definitely takes a toll on the body! I do military style workouts to condition myself for this type of work. As a result I have lost 50 lbs and weigh the same as I did when I graduated high school (I’m 43). My knees and back used to hurt to the extent that I did not know if I could continue this type of work. Now I’m in the best shape of my life. It would have been way easier to quit 🤣 but then my knees and back would still hurt. Now I feel better than I ever had! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 🙏
Dudes crushing it.
Thank you 🙏
Nice job mate! Hectic day, to be sure!
Gazza, from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it
Awesome content man this has been my dream for years very cool to see how you are able to do it solo.
I do have a couple helpers. They just don’t come to the market with me.
Bro your my hero. I want this so bad. Got an 18x27 and a 2x40 right now and it's great practice.
Thank you! 🙏
Great video! 🎉keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do!
Great setup. So well organized. I would love to see a video of how you made your trailer.
Thank you! I will put together the trailer video soon!
Awesome dude ! looking good ! Rock on ! Tennessee Jed !!

Kudos bro!!! You're selling fantastic product it's absolutely beautiful and you're so efficient with the way you're running your business I love it you're doing a fantastic job keep up the great work and I admire you because I used to do kind of the same thing but with rare and hard to find plants And some veggie plants that I started but I'm here in Texas so I don't get beautiful produce like that because it's just so hot here
