Become a Better Farmer in Just 5 Minutes per Week
Read on my website – Read Time: 5 Minutes
Hey Reader,
You’re already wearing 50 hats on the farm. Marketing shouldn’t add another 10 hours to your week.
Last week, I sent my Longbottom Farm customers some AI prompts to help them with meal planning. This week? It’s your turn.
Here are 3 copy/paste prompts that’ll handle your most time-sucking marketing tasks. Just drop these into Claude or ChatGPT (or an AI of your choice) and watch the magic happen.
Prompt #1: The Product Description Generator (Features → Benefits)
What it solves: You know your stuff. Omega-3s, carbon sequestration, regenerative grazing. But here’s the thing—customers don’t buy features. They buy benefits.
Here’s the difference:
- ❌ Feature: “Our beef has 3x more omega-3 fatty acids”
- ✅ Benefit: “Your family gets restaurant-quality flavor and the nutrition kids actually need—without the mystery ingredients”
See it? One’s a science lesson. The other’s a reason to buy.
Copy this prompt and fill in the blanks:
I sell from my small farm. Most farms talk about features like “higher omega-3s,” “regenerative practices,” or “pasture-raised.” But customers don’t buy features—they buy benefits.
Help me write a product description that:
- Translates farming practices into customer benefits (health, taste, peace of mind)
- Answers “why should I care?” not just “what makes it different”
- Creates an emotional connection beyond the science
- Includes a clear call-to-action
- Is 75-100 words
Here’s what makes our special: [how you raise it, what they eat, your practices, etc.]
Focus on benefits like: better flavor, knowing where food comes from, supporting local families, healthier for kids, etc.
Prompt #2: The Social Media Content Calendar Builder
What it solves: “What do I post today?” paralysis.
While i much prefer building an email list, social media can still be helpful. But sitting down to write a caption about… what, exactly? That’s where social media get hard / frustrating.
This prompt gives you two weeks of ready-to-go content ideas. Just plug in your details and you’re done.
Copy this:
“I run a small farm selling [your main products]. Create a 2-week social media content calendar with:
- Post ideas for Monday, Wednesday, Friday
- Mix of educational, behind-the-scenes, and promotional content
- Captions that don’t sound too salesy
- Best posting times for reaching local customers
My farm’s vibe is: [authentic/family-focused/sustainable/etc.]
Current season: [fall/winter/spring/summer]
Upcoming events or sales: [anything special happening]“
Prompt #3: The Weekly Email Subject Line Generator
What it solves: Staring at a blank email every week wondering what to write about (and whether anyone will even open it).
Look, you can have the best email in the world. But if the subject line doesn’t get the click? Nobody reads it.
This prompt gives you 5 subject line options every single week. Pick the one that fits your mood and what’s actually happening on the farm.
Copy this:
“I run a small farm selling [your main products] and I send a weekly email to my customer list. Generate 5 subject line ideas for this week’s email based on:
- What’s happening on the farm right now: [current season, what you’re working on, animals, weather, etc.]
- What I’m selling/promoting: [available products, upcoming sales, limited inventory, etc.]
- My goal for this email: [drive sales, build connection, educate, announce something new]
Make the subject lines:
- Curiosity-driven (make them want to click)
- Personal and conversational (not corporate or salesy)
- Under 50 characters when possible
- A mix of direct and creative approaches”
One More Thing
Pro tip: Save these prompts in a Google Doc or Notes app, and don’t be afraid to modify them. The more you use them and tweak them to your farm, the better the results get.
And if you’re thinking, “This is great, but I still don’t have the time (or know-how) to set up all the tech to make this stuff work“, I get it.
That’s exactly why every Homegrown Hosting website comes with your email platform already integrated and a custom email template ready to go. You just add your subject line and content—everything else is done for you.
No tech headaches. Just a site that actually works while you’re out doing the work that matters.
Now go feed those AI prompts and get back to farming. Until next week …
with my appreciation,
