    09/28/2026 | 13 mins.
    Margin tells you how much to keep. Volume tells you how much to grow. But none of it matters without the right place to sell it.
    In part 3 of the Profit Pie series, we break down the four sales channels: farmers markets, CSAs, restaurants, and wholesale, and how to match the channel to what your farm actually needs, not just the one with the highest margin.

    The Profit Pie: 70% Profit Margin Doesn't Pay the Rent (2 of 3)
