Are you charging enough for your farm products or services?
Recently, I was on a coaching call with a farmer who ran a wedding event space on their farm. They were booked solid for over a year—yet hadn’t raised their prices in years. That’s a major sign they could (and should) charge more.
The truth is, most farmers hesitate to raise prices because they’re afraid of losing customers. But what if I told you that keeping your prices too low could actually be hurting your business?
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down five key signs that it’s time to increase your prices—and how to do it with confidence. Whether you sell produce, meat, flowers, CSA shares, or even farm experiences, this episode will help you rethink your pricing strategy and ensure your farm is profitable.

306 5 Ways to Get Your First-Time Farm Customers to Buy Again (And Spend More!)
Is your farm’s sales funnel doing a great job of bringing in first-time customers—but then dropping the ball when it comes to getting them to buy again?
I recently coached a farmer who sells grass-fed chicken, pork, and beef by the cut, along with farm bundles and beef shares. He had an amazing sales funnel that was driving leads and converting first-time buyers like clockwork. But here’s the catch he had no system in place to encourage repeat buying.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I told this farmer to focus on next to boost his AOV and order frequency—and I’ll give you a checklist of ideas you can implement to build out your own post-purchase system.
Tune in now to learn how to turn first-time buyers into loyal, repeat customers!

308 Inside a Sales Funnel: How I Became a Raw Dog Food Superfan in 7 Days
It started with a few innocent dog scratches. My dog Daisy was itching like crazy, and I began to wonder: could it be her food?
One Google search later, I found myself tumbling headfirst into a raw dog food rabbit hole—complete with Facebook ads, blog articles, YouTube videos, and a subscription box I could not refuse.
In just seven days, I went from “hmm, maybe I’ll try something new” to full-blown raw food DIYer with a freezer full of meat and a meal plan I created myself. And I didn’t just buy dog food—I bought into an identity shift. I wanted to become the kind of person who makes her own dog food.
In this episode, I walk you through that transformation—from unaware to superfan—and break down the stages of the sales funnel framework that brought me there. I’m also challenging YOU to think critically about how your farm’s sales funnel is designed to do the same thing for your customers.
