A small farm can be a thriving business. Let Julia Shanks Food Consulting help you get out of the weeds and thrive doing what you love.

  • Crop by crop profitability analysis determines which crops are making money and which are not. As one of our clients said, we “help you stop guessing about what really makes you money versus what you grow for no good reason.”
  • Establish which sectors can be most profitable for your business: wholesales/restaurants, CSA, farmers market, auction, etc.
  • Create a cash flow plan so you can be prepared to weather the seasonal ebbs and flows of cash in your business.

For more information or to schedule an initial consultation, call 617-945-8718 or send us an email. We look forward to helping you succeed!
