Show Notes
Brendan Davison grows microgreens in over 4,000 square feet of greenhouse space at Good Water Farms in Bridgehampton, New York. Started in 2011 in the driveway of Brendan's house, Good Water Farms sells its greens to Whole Foods Markets and a long list of Hamptons and New York City restaurants.
Brendan shares his spiritual and practical path to building Good Water Farms. We dig into many of the details of what makes Good Water Farms a successful microgreens operation, including Brendan's marketing approach and how he manages production throughout the year. And we take a deep dive into how Good Water Farms' implementation of a HACCP plan for food safety increased the operation's efficiency and improved employee competence and confidence.
