If you have a small farm and would rather "do what you do" than worry about how to sell your product, here are a few ways Jefferson Grown! can help.
CSA Organization: There are many small growers in the area who would like to be matched up with other complimentary producers to create unique CSA shares. If you'd like to include your items in an organized CSA, email us.
Cooperative Market Booths: We are exploring the idea of small growers sharing space in farmers market booths, sharing the effort of bringing items to market, and working the booth in shifts. If you are interested joining the conversation, please email us.
Branding, Logo Creation, Marketing Tools: Your products need to have the right vibe to attract customers. Most people respond to professional layout and design, uniformity, easy to understand labels and information for your products. This can also include promotional items like T-shirts (for you or customers) or cloth shopping bags with your logo/info. For more info please email us.
Do-it-Yourself Web Site: Getting a web presence is important. Have a site just like this one for a few dollars a month, or a customized one for a one time fee. Share your farm pictures, stories, recipes, start an email list and foster a relationship with your customers. If you are interested in signing up, please email us.
Join the Marketing Collective: By organizing with other farms, costs on print advertising and event planning drop significantly. If you are interested in signing up, please email us.
The Availability Guide for Buyers: Many farmers in the region are interested in developing a more efficient way of communicating with commercial buyers. Forming a marketing cooperative is one idea that has been kicked around. We are working with farmers and buyers to perfect a system that works for everyone. If you are interested in signing up, please email us.
