The Overlook Produce Story: Joe Ulmer
Show Notes

In this episode, Joe Ulmer will tell you that you've got to crawl before you can walk: his early farming lessons were learned painting fence and weed-eating.  This first generation farmer got his start in the produce business by selling pumpkins by way of the honor system with a sour cream container in his front yard. Today, Joe and his wife own and operate a bustling produce market, bakery, and deli - a prime agritourism destination in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. This episode will remind you that dreams really do come true - you just gotta work for them.
