The origins of Growing for Market Magazine with founding editor Lynn Byczynski

In today’s episode, hear Lynn Byczynski talk about founding Growing for Market Magazine over 30 years ago in 1992. We’ll talk about how Lynn’s background in writing, combined with the lack of information about market farming in the early 1990s, pushed her to start Growing for Market. While researching solutions for issues on her farm in Lawrence, Kansas, she started publishing GFM as a way to connect market farmers to each other and hard-to-find information. We’ll also hear about her book, The Flower Farmer, passing the magazine on to current editor Andrew Mefferd after 24 years of running the magazine, and how her family came to run Seeds From Italy.

In Shop Talk with Neversink Farm, we chat about new tools, old tools, how they can benefit your farm and tips to use them successfully with Conor Crickmore of Neversink Tools, which manufactures tools for farmers.

In this episode of Shop Talk, we discuss Seed to Plate- a new video series that Neversink Farm is releasing on YouTube. Each episode of the series, shot in high-definition video during the pandemic lockdown, documents the journey of one vegetable from seeding to eating on Neversink Farm. Check it out both for a slice of life on Neversink Farm, plus some farm tips along the way.
