Ever wonder what it really takes to sell premium farm products with confidence—and actually make money doing it?

This week, I sit down with Stacie Edwards, a Farm Marketing School member who once felt nervous about charging “too much” for her meats. Today? She knows her numbers, prices for profit, and runs her business with the mindset of a CEO. But that transformation didn’t happen overnight.

Stacie’s journey is full of hard-won lessons: from hiring her first coach, to outsourcing hog production, to finally letting go of the fear that held her back from charging what her work is truly worth. She shares the real story of what it takes to step out of a scarcity mindset and step into profitability—without apology.

🎧 Whether you sell meat, veggies, or any farm product, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to shift their mindset, get clear on pricing, and build a business that lasts.

Meet Today's Podcast Guest: Stacie Edwards

Stacie is the owner and farmer at Edwards Family Farms in Nebo, North Carolina, where she and her husband raise high-quality pasture-raised chicken, pork, and beef. She’s passionate about regenerative farming, transparency, and helping busy families trust their food by knowing their farmer. Alongside running the farm, Stacie mentors other farmers on how to understand the value of their products and price them sustainably—so they can build profitable businesses that last.
