Could we have done that in our first year without Zach's help? In a word… no, absolutely not.
“We just completed our first year and we were able to produce enough vegetables to take to our weekly market with a reasonably professional presentation and modest but successful monetary results.”
“Trust me, the cost of the course pales in comparison to the cost of just a few of the mistakes you're bound to make on your own.”
In their own words
Could we have done that in our first year without Zach's help? In a word… no, absolutely not.
I've started. I'm no longer stuck or overwhelmed by how big and daunting my projects seemed to be.
Access to a coach. I've read a lot, watched many videos… but access to a mentor / instructor is most valuable.
Trust me, the cost of the course pales in comparison to the cost of just a few of the mistakes you're bound to make on your own.
I'm about two weeks away from harvesting peanuts (already pulled a small portion) and sweet potatoes. I've also planted carrots, corn, and different varieties of lettuce, and they're all growing well at the moment. Super excited!9.5 / 10 overall rating
I didn't have to have all the pieces in place to get started.
He delivers the content so clearly and simply. He is committed to your success.
The course has given me an optimal view as to what crops I should start growing.
We're not special. You can do the same, and you should.
For someone just starting out, your training is perfect. You covered everything in a great way.
Seeing how to plan and monetize is a huge component. The planting system you taught us was great.
This is an investment in themselves. It also is an investment in their own communities.
…tune into the weekly zoom call, apply what he teaches and do it right the first time.
I'm just taking it one day at a time and working with what I've got knowing that I have a system to follow and an expert to advise me.
I already tell people about you all the time.
Thanks Zach, you were so patient and thorough with your explanations.
Even though I've grown my own food for decades, growing it on a large scale [is] a whole different story, so I think getting that mentorship is super important.
From the course I have learned things to do and not to do.
