Getting Local Food to Local People
Digital Marketing for Farms and Food Businesses
Digital marketing tools can help you reach more customers. But learning to build a website or optimize your social media takes time and energy. We've connected with Dane Johnson, a digital marketing expert in Fargo to offer you free, personalized assistance. Then we created a series of webinars to teach you the basics of online sales and social media marketing.
It's all taught by local ND farmers and service providers and it's all completely free. We're able to do this thanks to funding from North Central Sustainable Ag Research and Education (SARE) and a grant from the USDA AMS Farmers Market Promotion Program.
