Professional Farm Websites, Fully Managed

Farm Websites Designed to Replace Phone Orders

Jason - Owner / Founder of homegrown hosting, designing websites for farmers

“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.”

✅  10 Years Farming Experience  ✅ Limited clients for hands-on support  ✅ Live and selling in 30 days  ✅  Used by real farms selling thousands of dollars of food online each year.

You Started Farming to Grow Food, Not Fight With Website Platforms

No Time for Tech

You’re already working 12-hour days. Learning WordPress, troubleshooting plugins,
and watching tutorials? That’s not why you started farming.

Expensive Solutions

Custom designers charge $5,000+ upfront, then $150 every time you need a change.
DIY platforms? You’re the designer, developer, and support team—for $100/month.

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.

Real Farms. Real Results.

No hype. Just real-world examples of farms selling more efficiently.

From No Online Store to $5,500+ in Online Orders

Small grass-based livestock farm.

This farm launched its first-ever online store in April.

Since launch:
• $5,500+ in online sales
• 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

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 the hard way. Eventually, my farm ranked #1 on Google and brought in consistent orders—without farmers markets or social media hustle.

Here’s what I learned:

✅ Farm websites need to be built for sales, not just looks
✅ Google rewards consistent, optimized content
✅ Most farmers don’t have time to learn this—they need someone to handle it

That’s why I built Homegrown Hosting. I use the exact same system on your farm that I spent years perfecting on mine.

Longbottom Farm ranks at the top for “grassfed beef”, “pastured poultry”, and “pastured pork” in Charlottesville

“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 create your custom website with your branding, products, and story. You review it and request any changes. Typical turnaround: 2-3 weeks.

Step 3: Launch and Grow

We go live, connect your email marketing, and handle all the technical maintenance. You focus on farming while your website sells for you.

“The real secret? Having someone maintain and optimize your marketing system while you focus on what you do best.”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with HomeGrown Hosting to design our website, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From our initial consultation to the final launch, the entire process was professional, efficient, and highly collaborative.

Jason was always responsive, open to feedback, and proactive in suggesting improvements we hadn’t considered. We’ve already received numerous compliments on the site, and it has significantly improved our orders online.

If you’re looking for a talented, reliable, and creative web designer, we highly recommend Jason with HomeGrown Hosting.”

“I dreaded starting this project and put it off for at least a year, but Jason made the entire process educational, enjoyable, and incredibly easy.

He’s a breeze to work with—always quick to respond with helpful resources and thoughtful recommendations during the build and continues to provide awesome support. Absolutely worth every penny!

When I shared the website and online store Jason helped us build with family and friends, the best response I got was, “I LOVE your website! It’s so relatable, and I love that it tells your story.”

Questions You’re Probably Asking (I Would Too)

turkey puzzled representing questions farmers might have about online selling

Q: Can I afford this?

A: Depending on your plan and needs, the website build is $499-$999 one-time, then your monthly care plan starts at $79-$149/month. If your website brings in just one new customer per month, it pays for itself. Most farms see their investment returned within the first 60 days.

Here’s the real value: Unlike other farm platforms where you’re renting space on someone else’s domain, you OWN your entire website. Your complete site can be zipped up in a single file and moved anywhere. Stop paying us? You still keep your website, your domain, products, and all your content. You’re never locked in. Compare that to other platforms where you lose everything the moment you stop paying. That’s the difference between renting and owning.

Q: What if I want to make changes?

A: Product updates, price changes, and seasonal info are included in all plans. Just text or email me what needs updating and I’ll handle it—usually same day. Major redesigns are quoted separately.

Q: Is there a contract or commitment?

A: You’ll sign a simple project agreement for the website build (standard stuff—scope, timeline, payment). After that, your monthly plan is month-to-month. No long-term commitment. If it’s not working for you, just let me know. Most farms stick around because their website keeps bringing in customers.

Q: What if I'm not tech-savvy?

A: You don’t need to know anything about WordPress, hosting, or technical stuff—I 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: How long until my website is live?

A: Typically 2-3 weeks from start to finish. The timeline depends mostly on how quickly you can get me your photos, product info, and branding details. Once I have everything, I move fast. Fill out the questionnaire, send your assets, and we’ll have you live and selling in no time.

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
✅ Expected: 1-3 new customers/month

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 organically
✅ Expected: 3-5 new customers/month

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 optimized based on data
✅ Email marketing driving repeat sales
✅ Word-of-mouth referrals increasing
✅ Expected: 5-8 new customers/month

Reality Check: You’ve now been through multiple seasons. We know what works and what doesn’t. This is where the system starts working FOR you.

Months 10-12: Systems

✅ Full year of sales data
✅ Automated systems running
✅ Customer base established
✅ Expected: 8-12+ new customers/month

Reality Check: After 12 months, we can look at the data and make strategic decisions for Year 2. Most farms that make it here don’t leave—because it’s working.

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 find me, order 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.
