For years, Forrest Pritchard has been selling farm raised beef and pork at his on farm store, and to dedicated customers at the farmers markets in Washington D.C. Â So it seemed like a win-win situation when another farmers market seller suggested he take over the business of selling lamb from Montana. Â Forrest put a pen to paper to figure out the costs involved, and came up with a tidy profit. Â He signed a contract, waited for the product to arrive, and then for the money to roll in. Â But that’s not how it worked out.
In what he describes as “The Biggest Mistake I Ever Made as a Farmer,” Pritchard tells the rest of the story and shares a lesson he learned that can help us all be more successful.
