THE LEAN MICRO FARMER

I'm Ben Hartman

I grew up on a corn and soybean farm in northern Indiana. I knew I always wanted to farm, but not on a gigantic scale. When I was 16, I started my first CSA, driving specialty crops into town to 12 customers. And I haven't quit micro farming since.

Now I operate Clay Bottom Farm with my wife Rachel Hershberger and two part-time workers. We grow on 1/3-acre and sell all of our food within 1.5 miles of the farm. I wrote about our journey in The Lean Farm books, and in 2017 I was appointed to the Grist 50, a list of emerging green leaders in the United States. I speak and lead lean farm workshops internationally.

"I had so much fun watching the Masterclass videos, I had to stop myself to be able to get some sleep...The Lean Micro Farm Masterclass is essential for us to develop an updated plan, and help us make a major decision regarding our livelihoods."

- Ethan D.

"The Masterclass has been a game-changer, guiding me in seed starting, weed management, tool selection, and even enhancing my restaurant customer service. I recommend this course to anyone interested in small-scale farming."

- Imani M.
