FREE Event: The Farm Marketing Fix – October 5th Sign up HERE Next week I'm going live for five days, October 5th through 9th, fixing real farmers' websites and marketing emails on camera. It's free, every session is recorded, and you can save your seat at charlottemsmith.com/masterclass. In this episode I show you why your website isn't selling: your customer is not wondering how many generations your farm is. She's standing in her kitchen at five o'clock with two kids to feed in twenty minutes and chicken in the fridge she doesn't trust. The farms with the most impressive practices lose to the farms that understand her. One client sent a single rewritten email and sold two whole hogs from a list that had never bought from her. This is the first skill taught inside The Profitable Farmer, and there's a homework assignment in here you can finish tonight. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why "I'll do it when things calm down" never arrives What your customer is actually worried about when she shops The difference between describing your farm and marketing it
FREE Event: Farm Marketing Week – October 5th Sign up HERE Regina Rivers was teaching full time, hauling frozen beef to hot Georgia farmers markets, and posting on social media around the clock. A gazillion tabs open in her head. She even went into debt stocking her farm store with wholesale products nobody wanted. Last year she sold almost 70 beeves and barely made money. Then she ran her real numbers. In this episode, Regina shares: The pricing spreadsheet that changed everything, and how she raised prices 20% with zero customer pushback Why she cleaned all the "fluff" out of her farm store so customers only see beef The weekly email with no buy button that keeps her selling out How relationship marketing means customers come for HER, not the price Why she's no longer exhausted, in body or mind, after four years of farming If you're selling out every month and still broke, this episode does the math with you.

FREE Event: The Farm Marketing Fix – October 5th Sign up HERE Ethan and Natalie Brinegar raise grass-fed beef, lamb, and pastured chicken at Haven Hills Farm in Webster, Minnesota. They both work full time. Their daughter is two. They sell at one farmers market. Eleven months ago they joined The Profitable Farmer. Since then, farmers market sales climbed 60% and direct sales climbed 75%. Prices doubled over two years. They shut off shipping. And this February they used the 5-Day Sales Launch to sell an entire season of beef before the cattle ever reached the processor. Inside: why they abandoned a paid e-commerce site before it launched, how time management changed the way Ethan ends his day, what happened the first time they raised prices 20%, and the customer conversation that turned a "too expensive" into two packages sold five minutes later. If you know your prices are too low and are afraid to fix it, start here. Farm Marketing Fix (Free Masterclass October 5th) - If you're heading into another season unsure how to price or where to start, this is a full week of marketing help at no cost, and a real taste of what a year of coaching looks like.

FREE Event: Farm Marketing Week – October 5th Sign up HERE Every farmer in the valley told Kate Gessford she could not make it. There are no frost-free days on record where she farms. The market season runs ten weeks. Last year she hauled vegetables home and made $120 on a good day. This year she sells out in 30 minutes, raised her chicken from $6 to $10 a pound with zero pushback, and sold out a five-day launch in three days. We talk about the pricing math, the emails, the launch, and the part she did not see coming: her autoimmune symptoms cleared, her marriage shifted, and she finally let people help her. If you are working harder than anyone you know and still packing product back into the truck, start here. Farm Marketing Week starts October 5th: charlottemsmith.com/masterclass
FREE Event: Farm Marketing Week - October 5th Sign up HERE My dad's farm went bankrupt in the 80s. We lived on hundreds of acres and still had food scarcity. After 13 years of coaching farmers, here's what I've learned: your success isn't limited by your location, your competition, or your website. It's limited by what you think is possible. Farmers in my program average a 200% increase in sales their first year, and most earn back their investment within 90 days. They get the same training as everyone else. What changes is their thinking. In this episode: The simple thoughts that keep skilled farmers stuck Why "I can't raise my prices" is a belief, not a fact The one question that unlocks pricing confidence How to kill overwhelm in your busiest season Works for flowers, meat, milk, eggs, produce, fiber, and every direct to consumer farm.
