In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something that’s been taking up a lot of headspace lately—our new-to-us farm store and what it really means for the future of Central Park Farms.

This isn’t a flashy “grand opening” kind of story. It’s a story about getting back to what made this farm special in the first place: connecting with the people we feed. I’m talking about how our farm store journey has evolved through tiny beginnings, COVID pivots, and now, a big ol’ barn that’s full of possibility.

We’ll chat about:

• Why we didn’t build a million-dollar store
• What we’re prioritizing instead (spoiler: it’s not branded freezer packaging)
• How this new space will help us serve our customers and other local farmers
• The return of something I’ve deeply missed: in-person connection through food

Come hang out with me while I get real about the emotional and practical journey behind this next chapter.

Key Takeaways:

• The new farm store isn’t about “fancy”, it’s about function, community, and values
• We’re expanding to support more local food security, not just sales
• Cooking classes and intimate farm dinners are coming back
• Behind every pork chop and package is a commitment to keeping food affordable and meaningful
