Spence dawns his meat cape of awesomeness for another episode. This time I talk to him about bootstrapping. Some highlights:

• What are some of the challenges in Bootstrapping a Pastured poultry farm?
• What would do if you were smart?
• Are you playing with house money?
• Don’t be afraid to work for a porkchop.
• What’s the biggest obstacle to overcome when starting your own pastured poultry business?
• Should you have too much chicken or not enough?
• Plan to be adaptive.
• Should both spouses work on the farm?
• Spence shares the number of birds that he can comfortably take care of himself.
• You need to have realistic expectations. Don’t try to create a multi-generational farm overnight.
• Are you a romantic farmer?
• Both Mike and Spence provide a perspective size and new markets.
• Should you listen to what people want?
