Passion for Farming, Expertise in Business
|
At FarmSmart, we believe that small food business owners are the bedrock of sustainability. Our mission is to empower you to sustain yourself doing what you love, by providing the financial clarity and strategic support you need to thrive. FarmSmart was founded in 2014 by Jed Beach, a true expert who understands both farming and business from the ground up. Since 2014, Jed has worked with over 100 small farms and food producers, helping them establish and achieve their business goals.
Jed and his wife, Emilia, own and operate 3 Bug Farm, a diversified organic vegetable farm in Lincolnville, Maine, where they also raise their four sons. This personal experience gives Jed a unique lens, allowing him to deeply appreciate the balance required between family and farming life, and to bring that understanding to every client meeting. With an M.B.A. in organizational and environmental sustainability, coupled with years of hands-on bookkeeping and financial experience, Jed brings a blend of technical knowledge and practical wisdom to FarmSmart. In 2023, Emilia joined FarmSmart as the primary bookkeeper. |
