Direct Farm Marketing

Just read, "Tips and Strategies for Direct Farm Marketing Success," in Acres, Vol 40, No 5. The author wrote that the rule of thumb today is to give 4 of every 10 hours to marketing (a lot!) Some tips they went through were to make business cards, a good roadside sign, keep a record of buyers and their purchases, use the local media, and make a one-page handout for customers at point of sale.
