Small Farms Big Change

“My lettuce game is way up, big props to this course. From propagation chamber varieties, spacing and bed prep.”

Small Farms Big Change

“The experience has been really good for me! I REALLY wish I had gone through this course before we ever started our farm. It would've saved us so much time, money, and headaches! At least we'll have a much better game plan going forward.”

Small Farms Big Change

  • Frame 6 The Lettuce Masterclass

    “...Ray gave me a plan, and it has been key to making a successful transition to farming. He really helped me bridge the gap. Ray has a great way of working, he understands working within your context so he doesn't just recommend one system, but what will work on YOUR farm. Ray is my safety net!

    The first month of opening my farm I grossed almost $5,000 from an 1/8th acre. My salad mix is my biggest seller - I can’t grow it fast enough! I’m working on 4X my production now and looking forward to fall when I think I can double my sales!

    Thanks Ray for helping me make my farming dreams a reality!! ”

    Farmer, Front Street Farms

  • Frame 6 The Lettuce Masterclass

    “Before working with Ray, I wanted to start my own farm but my background in music didn’t give me the necessary skills I needed...
    ...Ray gave me a plan, walked me through the exact systems that I needed, and I signed up 50% more CSA members than I expected this spring! Ray gave me clarity and a filter for all the information out there, even down to the exact crop plan and varieties that I needed. And he helped me implement it in such a way that I could develop the CSA while maintaining a window cleaning job as my primary income. We produced more food than we needed for our members. It was worth every dollar working with him!...
    ...My goal is to go full-time this fall and feed much more of my community, which is only possible because of Ray's help.”

    “This class motivated me to move forward with my first cat tunnel and attempt winter lettuce mix production. All in on salanova. Tunnel survived 65 mph winds last week, I think we are good to go.”

    “Thank you, Ray! My first harvest after doing everything the "right way" 3 totes FILLED from one 50' bed. I'm guessing at least 45 pounds. This just paid for the class, and then some! Great stuff! Thanks!”

    “Sending my annual thanks to you for the lettuce course and the paradigm shift it inspired on our farm. Sales up nearly 50% again this year. A couple of years ago I never would have believed I could do 130K from 3/4 of an acre. A crazy year in so many ways and I have a lot of gratitude for the “calm” I had with the farm this season. Many thanks!”

    “Still riding the " best market day yet" euphoria wave.
    Thanks to this Masterclass and what we've learned, we sold almost 50 salad mix boxes and over 40 heads of lettuce... And I have PLENTY more in the ground ready for the next few months... and more trays ready to carry us into Spring. If you are new to this group, and wondered, "does this stuff really make that big of a difference?"
    YES!! I think every person who was a repeat customer bought at LEAST two boxes.. a few even more! Soak up the info here, and if you can, get to one of the workshops at Ray's farm.
    I DO think my hat helped a *little* though.”

    “I wanted to thank you for allowing me to take the Lettuce Class. This is our third year and we are really doing great. Over the last three months, we have grossed 46k. Our crops are diversified but veg makes up a large percentage of the sales. Hats off to you for your hard work, dedication, and inspiration.”

    “Just looking over our sales from the past few weeks and we are now averaging $850/week just in lettuce sales and I am feeling appreciative of the work you put into the lettuce course and mentoring folks and the Instagram algorithm that helped me find it 😀. Thank You!”

    “My winter sales have been incredible, thanks to this course for pushing me forward. Sold through my box of 400 clamshells already!”

    Farmer

  • Frame 6 The Lettuce Masterclass

    “...I was overwhelmed and frustrated by all the irrigation options out there, especially as we have an off-grid operation.
    Ray helped me design a system that cost me 50% less than what I had been considering and allowed me to irrigate my crops overhead, drip or both. He showed me the exact parts and pieces that I needed and where to get them at the best price.

    Ray is a farmer’s farmer, loves farming and is a great guy to work with. He definitely wants me to succeed - even though I’m close enough to be future competition. He went above and beyond working with me and now our irrigation system saves me 75% of my time irrigating.”
