362 How to Groom Your Farm Website During the Season
6d ago00:52:16Summary readyIs your farm website reflecting what's happening on your farm RIGHT NOW… or is it stuck in last season? A few weeks ago, our farm was featured in the Toledo Blade newspaper during asparagus season, and suddenly we had a wave of new people discovering our business online. There was just one problem… Our website wasn't ready for them. The homepage wasn't talking about asparagus. There was no mention of the newspaper feature. And there wasn't a clear next step for new visitors trying to figure out how to buy from us. That experience sparked a huge realization for me: Farm websites are not static brochures. They're living storefronts. And just like a retail store changes its displays, promotions, featured products, and signage throughout the year, your website should evolve with the current season of your farm business too. In today's episode, I'm unpacking: Why stale websites quietly create friction and confusion How new customers experience your website differently than loyal customers The hidden role your homepage plays in guiding people deeper into your funnel The seasonal elements I think farms should regularly rotate and refresh A simple "website grooming rhythm" you can use throughout the year If you've been treating your website like a one-and-done project, this episode will completely change the way you think about your homepage.

Summary361 The Missing Piece in Your Farm Business: The Success Path
2w ago01:21:34Summary readyMay 13, 2026 There's a missing piece in most farm marketing funnels, and it lives after the sale. If your customers feel overwhelmed, unsure what to do, or like they're "failing" with your product… they don't come back. In this episode, I'm breaking down the concept of a Success Path -- the intentional roadmap you build to guide your customer from confusion → confidence → transformation. When you build this well, you don't just create repeat buyers… you create loyal fans who trust you, stick with you, and tell others. What You'll Learn: What a Success Path actually is (and why it's the most overlooked part of your funnel) The key elements every success path needs: Why teaching matters (and the kinds of skills your customers need to succeed) How to think like a guide: building frameworks, processes, and "curriculum" for your customers The power of normalizing roadblocks—and how it keeps people from quitting Why community and belonging are retention superpowers Once you see the path, you can start building resources around it: Simple how-to videos (YouTube, social, website) PDFs, checklists, and quick-start guides Recipes, tutorials, and tool lists A "home base" (Google Doc, Google Sheet, or webpage) to organize everything Evergreen content you can reuse year after year Over time, this evolves into a repeatable system that moves customers from the point of first purchase through all the items in your product ladder (and creates super fans). This episode will show you how to get started with this key element in your sales process. It's SO GOOD!

Summary360 What to Do with Your Farm's Greatest Hits
3w ago00:45:20Summary readyI own every single album by the Indigo Girls. I'm a true fan. I know the deep cuts. The obscure songs. The ones most people have never heard of. But the album I reach for the most?...Their greatest hits. The one with all the favorites. The songs I already know I love. And it got me thinking… What if your farm had a "greatest hits album"? Most farmers are sitting on their most powerful sales tool… and not using it. Your best sellers—the products your customers already love—are doing more work than you think. But if you're not intentionally leveraging them? You're leaving money on the table. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to identify your farm's "greatest hits"… and more importantly, what to actually do with them so they drive more sales, higher order values, and repeat purchases.

Summary359 Are You Tracking This Number in Your Farm Business?
4w ago00:56:02Summary readyWhat if the growth you've been chasing… isn't actually about getting more customers? In this episode, I'm introducing a simple (but incredibly powerful) metric called Customer Value. And once you understand it, it will completely change how you think about your farm's revenue, your marketing, and your growth strategy. Most farmers are focused on the wrong lever. They're trying to bring in more people… when the real opportunity might already be sitting inside their current customer base. Inside this episode, I'm going to show you: What Customer Value actually is (and how to calculate it for your farm) Why this number brings clarity and predictability to your revenue How it helps you make smarter marketing decisions (including what you can afford to spend to get a new customer) And the mindset shift that moves you from chasing sales… to building a system We'll also walk through a real-life example of a farmers market vendor and show how small changes—like getting someone to come back one more time or spend a few dollars more per visit—can dramatically increase your revenue without adding a single new customer. This is one of those episodes that will quietly rewire how you think about growth. Thank You to Our Podcast Sponsors: Local Line is my farm's preferred e-commerce platform for farmers.

Summary358 Timing is Everything: The Best Time to Sell Your Farm Products
Apr 2200:48:44Summary readyI walked into the grocery store this week… and it felt like Easter punched me in the face. Everywhere I turned, there were Easter baskets, chocolate bunnies, pastel packaging, even M&M's rebranded as "eggs." It wasn't just a reminder that Easter was coming—it was a full-on invitation to buy like it was Easter. And here's the weird part… I found myself wanting things I didn't even plan to buy. If your farm products aren't selling, it might not be your pricing… your offer… or even your marketing. It might be your timing. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 moments when your customer's "taxi light" turns on—those short windows when they're actually ready to buy. When you understand these moments, you stop pushing products… and start meeting demand that's already there. You'll learn how to spot these windows, avoid wasting energy selling at the wrong time, and start aligning your promotions with when your customer is already primed to say yes.

Summary357 How I Built a Spring Plant Sale Launch That Sold Out in 48 Hours
Apr 1500:45:46Summary readyWe just sold out our entire Spring Plant Sale in 48 hours… and I had to shut the store down five days early. I don't think it was luck. This year, I approached the plant sale differently. I built it like a launch. And in the process, I uncovered a few new strategies (and a few surprising insights) that I haven't shared before. If you've ever run a promotion and thought, "Why didn't this sell as well as I hoped?"... this episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what actually moves the needle. I'm walking you through the anatomy of this year's Spring Plant Sale launch -- what I changed, what worked better than expected, and a few "a-ha" moments that apply to any kind of farm promotion (not just plant sales). We'll talk about: Why I focused almost entirely on email (and what happened because of it) The subtle shifts I made to the offer that dramatically increased average order value What I did during the first few hours of the launch that most people overlook And one simple post-purchase move that can shape how your customers behave next time This is part case study, part workshop; and if you're planning any kind of seasonal promotion, you'll want to listen. Resources Mentioned: Listen to my podcast from last year's Spring Plant Sale Launch Ep 253, and the discoveries I made then. Do you hear similar themes?

Summary355 The 3 Mindset Blocks Behind Selling Your Farm Products
Apr 100:39:43Summary readyYou don't have a marketing problem. You have a hesitation problem. I see it all the time. Farmers build the offer. They may even grow the list. They do the marketing prep work. And when it's time to promote?... They pull back. The question is why? This episode aims to uncover those beliefs quietly running your marketing. If you've ever thought: "I don't want to be annoying." "If they didn't buy, maybe it's me." "Good products should just sell themselves." You're not alone. We dig into the three mindset blocks that keep farmers from selling confidently. We uncover what's going on behind the thought, and reframe a new way of thinking about marketing -- one that positions you as a servant leader to your customers.

Most farmers think they're selling the product. "I sell lamb chops." "I sell bouquets." "I sell eggs." But customers don't actually buy products. They buy offers. In this episode, I unpack the difference between the two, and why learning how to build an offer around your farm product can dramatically increase your sales. If you've ever felt stuck thinking, "I just have this product… how do I sell it?" this episode will open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about marketing.

Summary353 Turn FAQs Into Farm Sales: Answer the Questions That Stop Customers From Buying
Mar 1800:45:08Summary readyThe other day I found the perfect desk on Facebook Marketplace. Great photos. Fair price. Only ten minutes away from my house. But I didn't buy it. Why? Because one simple piece of information was missing — the dimensions. Without that one detail, I couldn't tell if it would fit our space… so I moved on. And it made me realize something. Farm customers do this all the time. They want to buy… but a small unanswered question stops them from moving forward. If customers are interested in your farm but not actually buying, the problem might not be your product -- it might be the questions your marketing isn't answering. In this episode, I'm unpacking the concept of customer objections and why understanding them is one of the most powerful marketing skills you can develop as a farmer. You'll learn: Why FAQs and customer objections are basically the same thing The most common questions farm customers ask before they buy Where in your marketing you should be answering these questions How unanswered objections quietly kill sales When you start intentionally addressing the questions your customers already have, something powerful happens… Your marketing becomes clearer. Your customers feel more confident. And sales become easier. Thank You to Our Podcast Sponsors: Local Line: Local Line is my farm's preferred e-commerce platform for farmers.
