On the podcast this week I have Mike Tholis. Mike is the owner of Rendezvous Farm in Frederick, Maryland. Before starting his farm, Mike was a chef for 5 years in Washington D.C. restaurants, and has also worked as a butcher. After the government shutdown a few years ago, he realized how precarious the restaurant industry could be, and started planning his exit strategy. We discuss leaving the restaurant business, his innovative CSA model, pros and cons of farmers markets, and why he's hesitant to sell his produce to restaurants. ===========================  Mike Tholis and Rendezvous Farm  ===========================  Rendezvous Farm Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rendezvousfarmmd/ Rendezvous Farm Website https://rendezvousfarmmd.square.site/ Rendezvous Farm Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Rendezvous-Farm-MD-289982475255630 Some of Mike’s favorite resources are: Urban Farmer Curtis Stone’s YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-BlDCX__nCLs_ZF9meYQbw Jesse Frost’s Farming YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCejgtTHroWI5sF_2-fuiF4Q ===========================  CONNECT WITH US  ===========================  SUPPORT US ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/chefswithoutrestaurantsGet the Chefs Without Restaurants Newsletter https://mailchi.mp/fe0d8a0cc7a6/chefs-without-restaurants-email-listVisit Our Amazon Store (we get paid when you buy stuff) https://www.amazon.com/shop/perfectlittlebites?isVisitor=trueCheck out our websites (they have different stuff) https://chefswithoutrestaurants.org/ &amp; https://chefswithoutrestaurants.com/Like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/chefswithoutrestaurantsJoin the private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/chefswithoutrestaurantsJoin the conversation on Twitter https://twitter.com/ChefsWoRestosCheck our Insta pics https://www.instagram.com/chefswithoutrestaurants/Founder Chris Spear’s personal chef business Perfect Little Bites https://perfectlittlebites.com/ If you want to support the show, our Venmo name is ChefWoRestos and can be found at https://venmo.com/ChefWoRestos.
