A farm site is best launched with a short, honest picture of what is growing now and exactly how a customer can get it. The pieces are simple, and most of the delay comes from waiting for good photos in the right season.
How the launch unfolds
Day 1-2: You send photos, product lists and selling channels, and we sketch the home, what-we-grow, where-to-buy, wholesale and about pages.
Week 1: A first version arrives, and you check availability wording and pickup details against how you actually run things.
Week 2: We separate the retail and wholesale paths clearly, tune the seasonal highlights and test the contact form.
Launch: After your approval the site goes live, and a 48-hour launch is possible for eligible projects with content ready.
What to gather before you start
- ✓Photos of the farm and your products — Real images of rows, animals and finished goods tell a visitor more than any description of your practices.
- ✓A current list of what you grow or raise — Group it by season so the site stays accurate even when particular items sell out.
- ✓Pickup or market details — Give days, hours, locations and parking notes, because confusion on pickup day is a common frustration.
- ✓Wholesale terms in short form — Note minimums, delivery area and who to contact so restaurants can tell quickly whether you fit.
- ✓Your story in a few paragraphs — People buy from farms they feel they know, so name the family, the land and how long you have worked it.
The first month after launch
In the first month, replace placeholder images with photos taken at harvest, update availability weekly and confirm every pickup detail still matches reality. Invite regular customers to share a few words about the farm through the channels they already use. As the season turns, refresh the seasonal highlights so holiday shoppers see what you actually have.
Mistakes to avoid at launch
- ✓Leaving old availability on the page — Customers drive out for something that sold out last week and may not come back.
- ✓Skipping pickup instructions — People wander the property or miss the window, and your pickup day becomes harder than it needs to be.
- ✓Blending retail and wholesale in one section — Each audience cannot find its own next step, and the right buyers slip away.
