When you think Iowa agriculture you probably think corn and pigs, which would be right! But, one farmer is stepping up the state's leafy greens and microgreen production and has started an awesome direct-to-consumer model. My guest today is Steve Strasheim from Twisted River Farm. In our interview today, Steve and I chat about why he started the farm, his production methods, and what his delivery model looks like.
