A podcast helping farmers get the mindset they need to build a profitable farm business.
“Absolutely invaluable information for any farmer that wants to make their business more profitable, presented in easy-to-follow steps to success.”
For most farmers selling is a struggle. This skill doesn’t come naturally to most of us. We have to work at getting comfortable, with the uncomfortable. And let me be totally honest with you. If you don’t learn how to sell, you’ll be out of business before you start. Fortunately, selling is a skill you can learn. It’s like putting
You have an advantage as a farmer. I know it may not always feel this way, but it’s true. Customers are looking to do business with people, not faceless corporations. Customers crave connection and personal experiences that will enhance their life. And that’s exactly what you do. You’d be surprised at the number of people that want to learn how to
One of the most common problems I hear farmers say is, “I don’t have time for marketing.” I get Facebook messages, emails, comments and direct messages all the time that say the same thing. “Charlotte you want us to market and I love your stuff, but I don’t have the time to do all this marketing.” I hear ya, and

Each week I receive many marketing emails, blog posts, and see social media posts from farmers and they are super informative – I hear all about their newest products available or opportunities for a class.

For the second time in less than a year, my husband and I hosted Joel Salatin at our home so we could teach “The Profitable Farm Workshop.” No matter how many times I hear Joel speak, I’m inspired to be a
In today’s world of online marketing, top-notch photos are a necessity and an important part of your successful marketing strategy. We live in such a visual world that websites are expected to be beautiful. And Facebook and Instagram have made it so everyone can look like a semi-professional photographer! A Professional Photo Shoot Can Convert Lookers into Buyers Without high-quality,
I talk to a lot of farmers that think it’s impossible to be a profitable farm. With high competition and grocery stores (including online!) flooding the market, it’s no wonder you think this. I’m here to tell you it is absolutely possible and I can show you how. I’ve done it for myself over the last decade and I’ve shown
Recently I had the pleasure to sit down with Carla Phillips of Phillips Family Farm, a neighbor a few towns over, here in Oregon.
