SOUND FAMILIAR?
You're working hard at marketing.
It just isn't working together.
✓ You're posting, emailing, maybe running ads — but it feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall.
✓ Your product is genuinely good. You're just not sure how to talk about it so the right customers notice.
✓ Marketing feels like a cost, not an investment — because you haven't seen a clear return.
✓ You've wondered if that money belongs in equipment or operations instead.
✓ There's no plan. Just effort — and effort alone doesn't scale.
Here's the truth.
You're already spending on marketing. Time on social posts. Money on a website. Energy on word-of-mouth. The question was never whether to invest.
It's whether that investment has a strategy behind it.
THE ORDER MATTERS
Three steps, in the right sequence.
You wouldn't plant before you prepared the ground. Marketing works the same way.
Here's the path — start exactly where you are.
IDENTIFY YOUR CURRENT MARKETING

DESIGN YOUR MARKETING PLAN

WHY WORK WITH ME
A strategist who actually knows agriculture.
I grew up on a Montana cattle ranch, studied marketing, and have worked in the field since 2007. In 2013, my husband and I started Lone Mountain Farms in North Idaho — vegetables, hops, grains, laying hens, and farm-craft beer.
When I applied a real marketing strategy to our farm, revenue doubled year over year.
I started Cultivating Your Market because the marketing advisors available to me knew little about direct-to-consumer agriculture — and that gap frustrated me. The people growing our food deserve support that actually fits their world.
Words from happy clients!
Ready to grow your marketing on purpose?
It starts with one conversation. No pitch, no pressure — just clarity on whether strategy-first marketing is the right next step for your business. And if it's not, I'll still point you to what is.
