Description

“We view the vegetable as our North Star,” says Noah Robbins, founder of Ark Foods. But lately, that star has been leading them in more unpredictable directions. In this episode, Robbins and Ark Foods COO Eduardo Mestre talk to host Lisa Held about how their business—which includes farming speciality vegetables like shishitos and selling veggie bowls to retailers like Costco—has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the resilience of farmers, and more.Image courtesy of Ark Foods.The Farm Report is powered by Simplecast.
