The 70-Day Farm Marketing Opportunity Most Farmers Are Missing
There's a 70-day window to turn a national labeling initiative into real marketing momentum for your farm, and most farmers don't know it exists. The American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA) has filed petitions with USDA and FDA to establish consistent "pasture raised" standards for egg labeling. That's newsworthy, and local news organizations are actively looking for exactly this kind of national-story-with-local-impact angle. In this episode I walk through how to pitch your story to local media, use the coverage to deepen customer relationships, and keep people engaged all the way through the comment deadline. Comment deadlines: USDA June 5, 2026 | FDA June 6, 2026 Templates, scripts, and how to submit a comment: Farmmarketingsolutions.com/action

Do You Know Your Numbers? The Foundation of Farm Marketing
Before you worry about websites, social media, or sales funnels, you need to answer one basic question: do you actually know your numbers? In this episode, I break down why understanding your costs, margins, and unit economics is the foundation of effective farm marketing. If you don't know what it costs you to produce food, every marketing decision that follows is a guess. This episode is part of a larger series focused on building a durable marketing foundation for small farms and homesteads, starting with clarity instead of tactics. If you're raising chickens, selling farm products, or thinking about turning a farm project into a real enterprise, this is where it starts.

Algorithms, Livestock, and a Walk in the Woods
In this reflective solo episode, I take a walk through the spring woods with my dog, Zip, and share thoughts on content creation, social media algorithms, and connecting with a small but meaningful audience.

Choose Your Farm Customers with Content
You have the power to attract your ideal farm customers - isn't that liberating? When you consistently create content around your farm, you're building more than awareness - you're crafting a recognizable personality. If you regularly share your passion for raising chickens, you'll naturally become known as the chicken expert in your community. The key is showing up consistently. Success starts with understanding your customers' needs. Put yourself in their shoes - they want delicious, ethically-raised chicken, and you have the solution. Focus your content on addressing that one perfect customer you want to reach. Make an authentic connection with them. If that specific person watches your video, that single view represents true success. The more you embrace the farming lifestyle, the more naturally you'll share those magical moments - like watching your animals peacefully grazing as time seems to stand still. The people who appreciate these moments are your people. They'll value what you offer. By sharing farming's authentic beauty, you'll attract customers who ensure your farm remains both beautiful and sustainable.

Mental Health Content for Farmers
Mental health is one of those tricky subjects to talk about because it is so different for everyone. After spending over 15 years working in agriculture, I have found that as much or more than any group, farmers should be doing more to address their mental health. Because I find mental health topics so tricky to talk about in any one piece of content, I have made it my life's work to do what I can to make the conversation approachable, and to support groups/organizations/businesses that can help me scale my efforts. In 2011 I rode my bicycle across the money raising awareness and money for Farm Aid's crisis hotline. https://www.farmaid.org/our-work/resources-for-farmers/online-request-for-assistance-form/ I started and ran my own farm for over a decade. So I know how hard it can be. Now I work for a company that has donated over $150 million dollars to mental health research. If any of my content helps at least one person to open up and have a conversation about their needs and get support, I will consider myself successful. Take care of yourselves, and if you can, someone else too. Cheers!
