Ranch to Resturant/Farm to Table with Henry Arrowood
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
He calls it a "Business in a Box". Henry Arrowood is talking about Farmshare a way for ranchers and farmers to take their beef directly to the consumer or restaurant. The very cool thing about this is Farmshare is nearly a "turn-key" arrangement. They will provide the packaging, labels, shipping and more. What you do is let folks know that you have the beef they want. Listen as Henry tells us what farmers/ranchers currently make per pound and what he has proven Farmshare can accomplish. The numbers are amazing. Oh...and catch what he did to experience ranch work. It's a hoot! We sure enjoyed this conversation and think you will too...producer or consumer or restaurant meet Henry!
