The Central Park Farms Podcast

In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what it really looked like to open our brand new farm store. Spoiler: it wasn’t easy. What started as a simple need for a bigger walk-in freezer turned into a full-on construction project… and it tested us in every single way. From convincing myself it was actually a good idea to saying yes to my father-in-law’s offer (after years of saying n...

In this episode, I’m digging into something that struck a nerve, not just with me, but with so many of you who messaged after I posted about our drive through Douglas Lake Ranch.

You might have grabbed a chicken pot pie or a container of chili from the freezer without giving it too much thought. But what you might not know is that those chef-made meals are doing a lot more than saving time in your kitchen....

Welcome to the first episode of The Central Park Farms Podcast ! I'm Kendall, one half of the team behind the farm, and in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how all of this got started. It’s a story that begins with a corporate job I didn’t love, a new relationship with a guy who grew up farming (hi Jay 👋), and a surprise delivery of 500 chicks. What was supposed to be a little homest...
