Farm marketing doesn’t start with social media, websites, or email lists. It starts with knowing your numbers. In this video, I break down the simple financial framework that every direct-to-consumer farm needs before they spend a single minute on marketing.

You’ll learn:
- How to calculate what it actually costs to produce your product
- How to determine how much income your farm needs to cover household and overhead
- How to price your products responsibly
- How to calculate a realistic marketing budget from your profit margin
- Why marketing tools only make sense once you understand your economics

This is the foundation of everything that follows in the farm marketing series.

If you know your numbers, marketing becomes focused, affordable, and predictable.
