All the Marketing

This week has been chalk full of all the things most farmers probably avoid but I have enjoyed the learning experience. I have mapped out my farm based on the number of seeds I have which is twice the size of the original plot I was planning haha. That will be interesting when I tell the hubby to just keep on going with the tiller. Yes you heard that right, we will be tilling this first go around but more to come on that later. I have a room half full of seedlings and by next weekend it will be nearly full! But those are all the fun parts.

What I've been focused on this week is updating my website, writing my blog (right now), writing my first newsletter and then taking three days to figure out how to link a newsletter to my website, not to mention how to program the little button on the webpage to prompt you to enter your email address and then find a way for your email address to eventually find itself on my newsletter mailing list, fun fun! Honestly though, it has been fun learning all these new things. I'm a one woman show over here with about 10 plates in the air but I'm also learning every aspect of my business and I will be the perfect person to help my future employees learn how to get it right! Please have patience with me as I go through this learning process because it is going to be so so sweet on the other side!

Other fun fact, I've been reaching out to wholesalers, florists, neighbors and friends just trying to get my name out there, NovaJames Homegrown ladies and gentlemen, and make sure I have a way to sell my flowers once my whole 5,000 square feet are in full bloom!! Yes, I said 5,000! Those catalogs just call to me. Want to know something crazy? I somehow didn't buy cosmos, whaaaat??? I know, crazy right? I'm sure I'll figure something out.

If you haven't seen it yet our first CSA sales are available for purchase between now and valentines day! This is going to be the cheapest price you can get all year so be sure to sign up and get your subscription early!

Please also sign up for our newsletter because I will use that to share the latest deals, offers and any other special thing I can think of.

Bloom well and prosper. Until next time.
