Here's an interesting article I came across recently that might spark some ideas in this family farm niche. It all started with buying a domain name, then partnering up with a farm.
Once I began, I discovered there was a Vidalia Onion committee which represents all the Vidalia farmers. So I reached out to them.
They were kind enough to listen to me.
They introduced me to 3 farmers in the Vidalia region.
I got along quite well with the 3rd farmer I met (Aries Haygood), so we decided to partner & give this a shot. His farm had been around for 25 years; they hadn’t focused on direct-to-consumer; but they understood its value. They operated a packing shed as well. And most importantly, they grew an award winning Vidalia.
And so we went.
