353 Turn FAQs Into Farm Sales: Answer the Questions That Stop Customers From Buying
My Digital Farmer | Marketing Strategies for Farmers
The 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...

352 The Hidden Goal of Every Farm Promotion
My Digital Farmer | Marketing Strategies for Farmers
I thought the goal of my recent promotion was simple: sell 40 prepaid online store credit memberships. That was it. 40 spots. Hit the revenue goal. Move on. But as I was building the emails, teasing it on social media, and checking my stats inside (my email service provider), I noticed something unexpected… My email list had jumped a LOT. And it wasn’t random. It was happening because of how I positioned the promotion before it ever opened. That’s when it clicked! Every promotion has a second goal. And most farmers completely miss it. Yes, promotions are meant to...

And you’re thinking: “I KNOW I should email my list… but what on earth do I say this week?” In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I actually find ideas when I feel stuck!

In this episode, I walk you through how to identify the central story of an email, and why...

350 Lessons from a Handmade Goat Soap Business - Interview with Hooves and Feathers
My Digital Farmer | Marketing Strategies for Farmers
A few months ago, I opened my mailbox to find a beautifully packaged starter box of goat milk soap from Allan Laird of Hooves and Feathers. Allan is a Farm Marketing School student… and he was proudly showing me his homework. 😊 Inside the box were thoughtfully chosen products, a clear “try-this-first” experience, and a sense that this wasn’t just soap — it was a brand with intention. I remember thinking, This is what happens when someone applies simple marketing frameworks with consistency. So I called Allan and said, “You need to come on the podcast and walk us through what...

346 What to Put Inside Your Farm’s Media Kit with Erika Tebbens
My Digital Farmer | Marketing Strategies for Farmers
Last summer, I got invited to be on TV. Exciting, right? Then they asked a simple follow-up question: “Can you send over your media kit?” And I froze. I didn’t have one. I wasn’t even totally sure what should be in one. Fast forward to this winter, as I start doing more speaking, partnerships, and visibility work for both my farm and My Digital Farmer -- I realized this was a gap I needed to close. So I invited someone back on the show who lives and breathes this stuff. On today’s episode, I’m joined again by Erika Tebbens from Taste the Local Difference. If Erika sounds familiar,...

Inside Farm Marketing School, we’ve been doing a powerful three-month deep dive on rewriting your money story -- and today, I’m releasing one of those private “members-only” private podcasts here on the main feed.
This is Episode 2 of that private series, and it’s all about the energy of money -- how it flows, how it gets blocked, and why the emotional tone behind your money exchanges matters just as much as the dollars themselves.
You’ll hear stories from my own life, teaching rooted in two incredible books, and a practical framework for noticing where your money feels light, joyful, and aligned… and where it feels heavy, tight, or full of fear.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
-
The difference between Happy Money and Unhappy Money
-
Why money carries emotional energy — and how it mirrors what you believe about yourself
-
What Lynne Twist means when she says “money is like water — it’s meant to flow”
-
Real-life examples of “flow” on the farm (and where it gets stuck!)
-
Why receiving money with gratitude is just as important as giving it
-
How scarcity sneaks into everyday transactions without you noticing
