Free Strategy Session: Is Farm Marketing Bootcamp Right for Your Farm?

Meet with a member of our team and let's chat!

I never tire of yet another email from a farmer in my Boot Camp who says, “We’re paying off our mortgage this month!” It’s becoming one of the most common testimonials I get to hear! 

Today, you’ll hear it from Sally and JP who’ve farmed for 15 years — but finally became profitable and sustainable the last two, after they joined the Boot Camp and got coaching on all the struggles - marketing, business, AND the personal struggle of farming with your spouse.

They’re great examples of what’s possible for you - tune in to hear how to:

  • Run a profitable farm with your spouse (and still like each otherđź’•)
  • Pay off your mortgage with just your farming incomeđź’°
  • Create real work-life balance while running a demanding business⚖️

What makes this episode special?

Sally gets brutally honest about how she and JP were constantly "bickering" while working together until they made one simple shift in how they communicate. 

Coaching helped her make this small change that completely transformed their working relationship while maintaining their personal relationship.

The results speak for themselves...

They're paying off their mortgage THIS YEAR with their farming income.

Yes, you read that right! After implementing strategic marketing, time management, and mindset shifts, Sally and JP are:

  • Selling out their farm shares consistently
  • Charging premium prices ($12/dozen for eggs!)
  • Building real savings instead of "gasping at cash flow"
  • Creating true work-life balance (no work after 4pm or on weekends)
  • Hiring staff to support their vision

This isn't about working yourself to exhaustion. Sally now blocks all time after 4pm and weekends for family, and has hired staff to support their busy, growing farm.

As someone who wasn't a "natural-born marketer," Sally was hesitant to invest in business education we teach in the Boot Camp. But as she shares in this episode, that investment has paid off many times over.

If you're farming with your spouse or partner and dream of creating a truly sustainable business (both financially and emotionally), this conversation will give you the blueprint.

Here’s to your success,

Charlotte
