What if the fastest way to grow your farm business wasn't finding more customers… but finding the people who already HAVE your customers' attention?

In this episode, I'm introducing the concept of the "Dream 25 List" -- a simplified version of the famous Dream 100 marketing strategy -- and showing farmers how to identify partnership opportunities hiding all around them.

We're talking about:

• what's a Dream 25 list?
• why partnerships can accelerate trust faster than social media
• how to identify 25 businesses and influencers that already serve your ideal customer
• examples of creative partnerships for flower farms, CSA farms, meat producers, and wedding flower growers

I also share real examples from Shared Legacy Farms, Anderson Farms, Weber Ranch, and a coaching call inside Farm Marketing School that sparked this conversation.

Homework Assignment:

Create your own Dream 25 List:

• Who already has the trust and attention of your ideal customer?
• Then choose THREE relationships to begin building this month.
