Inspired by sustainable farming practices, they decided to purchase a farm in the northwestern corner of New Jersey. They now focus on organic produce and animal husbandry, embracing the farm-to-table philosophy. Starting with pigs to improve pasture conditions and later adding cattle, chickens, sheep, rabbits, and ducks, they established a farm market in a renovated barn to sell their produce and products, using social media to promote it. The farm market is now open three days a week, primarily on weekends, and relies on word-of-mouth and social media for advertising. They also grow over 200 varieties of USDA-certified organic vegetables, which are used for a four-course tasting menu dinner series held four times a month. www.theNJFarm.com       ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/farm-to-table-talk-217480/episodes/table-to-farm-chef-family-steve-and-candice-maclean/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/farm-to-table-talk-217480/table-to-farm-chef-family-steve-and-candice-maclean.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
