Are you charging enough for your farm products or services?

Recently, I was on a coaching call with a farmer who ran a wedding event space on their farm. They were booked solid for over a year—yet hadn’t raised their prices in years. That’s a major sign they could (and should) charge more.

The truth is, most farmers hesitate to raise prices because they’re afraid of losing customers. But what if I told you that keeping your prices too low could actually be hurting your business?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down five key signs that it’s time to increase your prices—and how to do it with confidence. Whether you sell produce, meat, flowers, CSA shares, or even farm experiences, this episode will help you rethink your pricing strategy and ensure your farm is profitable.

Is your farm’s sales funnel doing a great job of bringing in first-time customers—but then dropping the ball when it comes to getting them to buy again?

I recently coached a farmer who sells grass-fed chicken, pork, and beef by the cut, along with farm bundles and beef shares. He had an amazing sales funnel that was driving leads and converting first-time buyers like clockwork. But here’s the catch he had no system in place to encourage repeat buying.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I told this farmer to focus on next to boost his AOV and order frequency—and I’ll give you a checklist of ideas you can implement to build out your own post-purchase system.

A few weeks ago, my farmer friend Glen Young (shoutout to Glen!) sent me a message: “Hey, Corinna—did you know your website pop-up isn’t popping anymore?”

Uh-oh. Turns out, something had changed inside Kit.com (my email service provider), and I needed to go behind the scenes to tweak a few settings. That pop-up is one of the biggest drivers of email signups for my farm, so I was SO grateful he caught the issue before it went unnoticed for too long.

This got me thinking—how many farmers have a lead magnet set up but aren’t actually promoting it in the right places? Or worse, have no idea if it’s even working?

So today, I’m breaking down 5 key places you should be advertising your lead magnet so you can grow your email list faster and turn more leads into customers. Plus, I’ve got a free resource to help you brainstorm 20+ farm lead magnet ideas so you can get started today!

Your homework from this episode is to pick ONE of the ideas I share in the episode and start promoting your lead magnet there on a consistent basis every week!

Do your farm sales feel unpredictable? Are you waiting and hoping customers will buy, instead of creating intentional sales spikes?

Imagine if you could forecast your revenue and know exactly when your next big influx of sales was coming. That’s the power of Marketing Peaks—planned, high-energy sales events that create urgency, drive customer action, and help you hit your revenue targets.

Most farmers don’t realize that retail businesses (including big brands) strategically map out four or more marketing peaks every year—and your farm should be doing this too. But how do you find your farm’s natural peaks? And what if you don’t have an obvious seasonal holiday to work with?

In this episode, we’ll explore:
✔ What a marketing peak actually is (Hint: You probably already have one and don’t realize it!)
✔ The four most common peaks that every business should plan for
✔ How to identify YOUR farm’s perfect marketing peaks (beyond just Black Friday or CSA sign-ups)
✔ Creative, non-holiday sales events you can fabricate to stimulate buyer behavior
✔ How marketing peaks interplay with cash flow & financial planning

👉Hit play now and start building your farm’s most profitable year yet.

Plus, I’m sharing a free resource to help you map out your farm’s marketing peaks—so you can create a predictable revenue plan instead of just “hoping for sales.”

It’s our 300th episode!! Wow. Can I make a confession?… I didn’t realize this important milestone moment until 10 days ago. And by then, it was too late. I realized I had missed my chance to make this moment a “Big Deal” and build momentum for my brand. There were SO many things I could have done with this episode!… invited a special interview guest, held a giveway, gotten a round-table of farmers who have coached with me to hear their transformative stories, or “looked back” at where I’ve been.

So I decided to turn this into a learning opportunity for all of us. I’m “going meta” as we use this milestone episode to discuss the marketing power of YOUR farm’s milestone moments. I’ll share the lessons I learned from forgetting to celebrate this big achievement—and give you a roadmap for using anniversaries and other key dates to grow your farm’s business.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why milestones create powerful marketing opportunities
  • The psychology behind milestone marketing (and why it works)
  • 3 types of milestones you should celebrate
  • Creative ideas for turning milestones into marketing gold
  • How to name and promote your milestone celebrations

Your Action Step: Identify one upcoming milestone in your business and brainstorm three ways to celebrate it. Need help? If you’re a member of Farm  Marketing School, you can download my free Milestone Celebration Planning Worksheet to get started!

Ever walk down the grocery store aisle and find yourself drawn to a beautifully curated lineup of products—like a collection of specialty salts, seasonal spice blends, or a limited-edition flavor series? There’s something about seeing a set of related products that makes you want to collect them all.

Now, imagine applying this concept to your farm business.

In this episode, I’m diving into how “collections” can be a game-changer in your farm marketing strategy. Collections tap into buyer psychology, make your products feel more exclusive, and encourage repeat purchases. They also simplify your marketing—giving you built-in themes and easy ways to guide customers toward bigger purchases.

So how do you create collections that actually work? And what kinds of products lend themselves to this strategy? That’s exactly what we’re exploring today. I’ll share examples of successful collections in eCommerce, plus specific ways you can bundle farm-fresh products into enticing, must-have offers.

Tune in to learn:
✅ Why collections make customers want to buy more
✅ The hidden psychology that makes them so effective
✅ How to identify which of your products could work as a collection
✅ The marketing strategies that make them irresistible

If you’re looking for a fresh way to increase sales, get more engagement, and make your farm products feel even more valuable—this is the episode for you!

Hit play now and start reimagining your product lineup!

Sometimes life throws you a curve-ball you weren’t expecting. How you respond can make all the difference. What if “everything is happening FOR you?” In this episode, I open up with Kate Weschler on the Root to Bloom podcast as I share my healing journey over the past 12 months, including the transformative insights and breakthroughs. We talk about the role of gratitude, choosing specific thoughts that would serve me, finding my true north again, and learning to “live in the land of fun.” I hope this episode will help you re-imagine how to view your own obstacles  that life sends your way, and instead see them as a catalyst for potentially huge breakthroughs.
