Farm Websites Designed toStop Taking Phone Orders
"Hi, I'm Jason. After 10 years of farming and figuring out online sales the hard way, I got tired of watching other farmers struggle with the same problems. So I built something different."

You Started Farming to Grow Food, Not Fight With Website Platforms
No Time for Tech
You're already working 12-hour days. The last thing you need is another thing to learn, fix, or babysit. Farming is hard enough without becoming your own IT department.
Nobody Can Find You
Your best customers are searching "grass-fed beef near me" or "farm fresh eggs" right now — and finding someone else's farm, because yours doesn't show up.
Your Customers Shop on Someone Else's Site
Popular farm platforms own the customer relationship, not you.
When someone clicks "Buy," they're sent to app.barntoplate.com/yourfarm—
their domain, their branding, their SEO. You're building their business, not yours.
"That's why we built something different: A professional website built for your farm, owned by you, and managed by someone who's actually raised cattle and figured this out the hard way."
A Professional Farm Website—Built, Owned, and Managed
We build a custom website for your farm, hand it over to you (you own it completely), and manage everything technical so you can focus on farming.
We Build It
Customized website with your branding, products, and story. Professional, mobile-friendly, ready to sell.
You Own It
Built on your domain, your content, your customer data. No platform lock-in. Take it anywhere, anytime.
We Manage It
Updates, backups, security, support. You never touch the tech. We keep it running while you farm.
"A great website is step one. We also handle the basics that help you get found — clean structure, fast loading, and SEO fundamentals built in from day one — so when customers go looking, there's something for them to find."
From Zero Online Sales to Selling Out Every Month
Here's what happened when we built a website that actually works:
Ten years ago, I started Longbottom Farm with zero farming experience and zero online presence.
I spent hundreds of hours figuring out WordPress, SEO, and online sales — slowly, through trial and error. Over time, my farm started ranking for searches like "grass-fed beef" and "pastured pork" in my area, and consistent orders started coming in without me having to chase every sale through farmers markets or social media.
Longbottom Farm ranks at the top for "grassfed beef", "pastured poultry", and "pastured pork" in Charlottesville
Here's what I learned:
✅ Farm websites need to be built for sales, not just looks
✅ Showing up online takes consistency — there's no shortcut, but there is a system
✅ Most farmers don't have time to learn this themselves — they need someone to handle the technical side for them
That's why I built Homegrown Hosting. I use the same foundation on your farm that I spent years building on mine — so you're not starting from zero.
"I'm not selling you a course or a DIY template. I'm building your website using the same proven system that got my farm here—so you can focus on farming while your site does the selling."
How It Works
Getting your farm online is simple:
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Farm
Fill out a quick questionnaire about your products, branding, and goals. Takes about 10 minutes.
Step 2: We Build Your Website
We'll reach out for your logo, photos, colors, and farm story, then build your custom website — homepage, About page, and store. You review it and request any changes.
Step 3: Launch and Start Selling
We go live, get your products listed, and hand you a site that's ready to take orders. You focus on farming — we keep it running.
What's Included
Everything you need to get your farm online and selling:
Professional Farm Website
Custom website built with your branding, story, and products. Mobile-friendly, professional, and built to sell—not just look pretty.
Guided Content System
You know your farm better than anyone. We give you simple prompts and real examples for every page, so writing your homepage, About page, and product descriptions takes minutes, not hours.
Complete Store Setup
Your products added and configured — pricing, weight variations, and categories all set up and ready to take orders day one.
Professional Farm Email
A professional email address for your farm (like info@yourfarm.com), so you look like a real business — not a Gmail account.
Premium Hosting & Security
Fast loading, SSL certificate, daily backups, malware protection. Your site is safe and always online.
Product & Content Updates
Add products, update prices, change hours, post seasonal announcements — simple updates, handled for you.
"The real secret? Having someone handle the technical side, so you can focus on what you do best."

Questions You're Probably Asking (I Would Too)
Q: Can I afford this?
A: The website setup is $199, then $99/month, with a 12-month minimum commitment. After that, you're free to continue month-to-month — no price increase, ever.
Compare that to other farm sales platforms, which often charge $400–600+ just to set up, plus a transaction fee on every single sale on top of their monthly cost. With us, there's no per-sale cut — what you charge your customers is what you keep.
Here's the real value: you own your entire website. Your site can be exported and moved anywhere, anytime. Stop paying after your 12-month commitment, and you still keep your domain, your products, and your content — that's the difference between renting and owning.
Q: What if I'm not tech-savvy?
A: You don't need to know anything about websites, hosting, or technical stuff — we handle all of that. You will need to manage your inventory (mark items in/out of stock) and respond to customer orders, but the system makes that simple. Think of it like managing a Facebook page, not building a website.
Q: What if I want to make changes?
A: Product updates, price changes, and seasonal info are included. Just text or email what needs updating, and I'll take care of it. Major redesigns or new pages are quoted separately.
Q: Is there a contract or commitment?
A: You'll sign a simple service agreement when you get started — standard stuff covering scope, payment, and terms. There's a 12-month minimum commitment at $99/month, after which you're free to continue month-to-month with no further obligation. No price increases, no surprises.
Q: How long until my website is live?
A: Typically 2-3 weeks from start to finish. First, you'll fill out a quick form with your branding, photos, and farm story — once I have that, I build your homepage, About page, and contact page. Then I'll send you a second short form for your products (names, prices, descriptions, photos), and once that's in, I get your store built and you're ready to launch.
Your 12-Month Journey: From Launch to Thriving Online Presence
A complete transformation of how your farm does business online.
Months 1-3: Foundation
✅ Website launches and goes live
✅ Google starts indexing your pages
✅ First online orders start coming in
Reality Check: Google takes 2-4 months to really "trust" a new website. This is normal. We're building the foundation.
Months 4-6: Growth
✅ Google ranking improves
✅ Repeat customers ordering online
✅ Email list growing (if you add email marketing — and use it)
Reality Check: This is when most farms start seeing consistent online sales. It's not explosive yet—it's steady growth.
Months 7-9: Optimization
✅ Store performance improving as you learn what sells
✅ Repeat customers ordering online
✅ Word-of-mouth referrals increasing
Reality Check: You've now been through multiple seasons. You know what works and what doesn't — this is where things start clicking.
Months 10-12: Systems
✅ A full year of sales data to look back on
✅ A real customer base established
Reality Check: After 12 months, we'll look at the data together and talk through what's next for your farm.
Real Farms. Real Results.
No hype. Just real-world examples of farms selling more efficiently.
78% Increase in Sales (1st 6 Months)
Small grass-based livestock farm.
This farm launched its first-ever online store in April.
Since launch:
• Sales increased by 78%
• 50+ customer orders
• Average order value over $100
This revenue did not exist before the website.
The biggest win was simpler ordering - customers now place orders using a simplified, automated system.
The Same System Used on a Founder-Owned Farm
Pasture-raised, meat & egg farm in Virginia
This is the same WordPress + WooCommerce system used on a founder-operated farm.
Past 12 months:
• $43,000+ in online sales
• 400+ customer orders
• 2,000+ products sold
I don’t sell a platform I wouldn’t trust with my own income.
Meet Your Web Designer (and Fellow Farmer)
I'm Jason – I Know What It's Like to Work Your Tail Off and Still Struggle to Find Customers
So I built something to fix that
Ten years ago, I bought a farm with zero experience. I had great products but couldn't figure out how to connect with the local customers who wanted to buy from me.
I spent years wrestling with confusing platforms, losing orders in Facebook messages, and watching customers buy from farms that just had better websites.
The breakthrough came when I finally built a system that worked. Customers could actually order from me easily and I stopped chasing every sale through texts and DMs.
Here's what changed everything: A professional website that did the selling for me while I focused on farming.
Now I build the same system for farms like yours. Not because I'm a tech guy—because I'm a farmer who figured it out the hard way and don't want you to waste years like I did.
What I'm giving you is everything I learned, so you can skip straight to the part where it works.
Let's See If This Makes Sense For Your Farm
I don't do pushy sales calls. Fill out the quick questionnaire below and I'll review your farm personally.
Then we'll jump on a 30-minute call (optional) or chat by email, where I'll tell you honestly if I think this will work for you.
If it's a good fit, great. If not, I'll point you in a better direction. Either way, you'll walk away with clarity.
"I started this because I watched too many good farmers quit because they couldn't figure out the online side of the business. If you're serious about growing your farm sales without burning yourself out on tech, this might be exactly what you need." - Jason
