You don't need perfect branding, a fancy website, or a huge following to make your first $1,000 on the farm. You just need three things: one product you can deliver consistently, 10 customers who'll commit to buying, and a simple way for them to order. In this video, I break down the exact process we used to hit $1,000 in three weeks - and how you can repeat it every single month. ABOUT THE PART-TIME FARMER I run Longbottom Farm (cattle operation) and work 24-hour shifts as a PA in neonatal care. I built a six-figure farm business working part-time - and now I teach other farmers how to grow profitable farm businesses without burning out.

As someone who's built websites for dozens of farms and scaled my own farm to six figures, I see these website fails over and over.

Whether you're selling CSA boxes, farm-fresh eggs, pastured meat, or agritourism experiences, your agricultural website needs these fundamentals right.

In this video, I walk through the exact mistakes I found on 50+ farm websites, including a bonus mistake that most farmers don't even realize they're making. These aren't just design problems - they're costing you real money in lost sales every single day. What you'll learn: - The #1 call-to-action mistake killing conversions - Why your beautiful farm fonts are driving away customers - How to write a value proposition that actually sells - The mobile mistakes losing you 73% of potential customers - Why zero social proof means zero trust from food buyers - The hidden hosting mistake that kills your Google rankings If you're a small farm, homestead, or direct-to-consumer agricultural business struggling to get online sales, this video will show you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it.

Or is there a better way to sell your farm products? In this video, I share why we stopped doing farmers markets and what we did instead to grow our farm sales—without leaving the farm. When we first started, the market was a great place to meet people, get our name out there, and learn how to talk about what we raised. But after a while, we realized something: We were spending hours every weekend loading coolers, setting up tents, and hoping it didn’t rain. And when we added up the time, labor, and stress, it just didn’t make sense anymore. That’s when we had our email epiphany. Instead of setting up a booth, I sent out a quick email to our list—and orders came in. Not because we were running a sale… but because we reminded people we existed. In this video, we’ll cover: 🔹 The pros and cons of selling at a farmers market 🔹 How we built our email list (and how you can too) 🔹 The simple website + email combo that now drives the bulk of our sales 🔹 Why we still think markets are great—just not forever If you're a homesteader, small farmer, or trying to grow your farm business part-time, this video is for you. We’ll talk about realistic strategies that fit your life—and how you can start building systems that scale. #hobbyfarm, #smallfarm, #homesteading, #farmbusiness, #farmmarketing, #homesteadersofamerica, #farmlife, #parttimefarmer, #sidehustlefarm, #growyourfarm, #directtoconsumer, #sellingfarmproducts, #farmtotable, #onlinefarmstore, #farmerswhosellonline, #websitesforfarmers, #homesteadlife, #chickenfarmer, #pastureraised, #farmincome, #buildyourfarm, #homesteadtobusiness, #makemoneyfarming, #backyardfarm, #smallscalefarming, #localfarmers, #farmerentrepreneur, #sellwhatyougrow, #farmwebsite, #farmwithoutburnout 👨‍🌾CONNECT WITH US: Homegrown Hosting (Website, Store, & Email All-in-One): https://homegrownhosting.com/ Website: https://homegrownhosting.com/the-part-time-farmer/ Newsletter:https://homegrown-hosting.kit.com/free-guide Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theparttime_farmer/ My Farm: https://longbottomfarm.com 🛒Longbottom Farm Online Shop: https://longbottomfarm.com/affiliate-store/ 👈 These are items we've used and feel confident in recommending.
