How do you market your organic business?
5 Replies

One of the reasons I got into living an organic lifestyle was for the simplicity of it. I wanted to live a life closer to nature, rather than be a slave to the modern lifestyle. Now I am growing my…Continue

Home delivered organic food

I'm happy running my small plot of land and selling through the local certified farmer's market, but in the long term I'd like to expand and deliver boxes of goodies to people directly, on a weekly…Continue

Giving your business a blog, a Twitter page, and a Facebook page can really add to your business. Also, do you have a physical store? If you do, look into the Foursquare App which allows users to check-in to your establishment. Once they do,…

I'm a big fan of blogging for an online presence, mostly because I think it's fun, but also it's quite easy to do these days. You could post photos of your products, info about harvesting, etc. and it gives you a place to trade links…

Natural-woman replied to Herbalist's discussion 'Favorite organic brands?'
I love Arrowhead Mills for bread products. Now I come to think of it most of my grocery shopping comes from a brand owned by the Hain company. The soups by Imagine Foods are great too.

Natural-woman replied to Nortella's discussion 'Non-Organic Food'
Your reasons make sense, and it would be daft to deprove yourself of bananas because they're not available. Someone sent me a list of fruit and vegetables which are considered fine to eat if not organic. Luckily asparagus is on it, as I love…

Natural-woman replied to Lacey Mortens's discussion 'Raw milk raid'
It's possible that the attention could out a spotlight onto others who sell or distribute raw milk. There's nothing like a good old moral panic to get that ball rolling! But considering that much of the media attention favors people having…

Social networking is a great way to get information out there. There are a few members of my family who already advertise their home business on Facebook with great success.

Have you considered pairing with local farmers to sell your products in their farmers' market stall? You could also look into co-ops in your area to see if your items can be sold through the co-op. Depending on what you are selling, you can…

How do you market your organic business?

One of the reasons I got into living an organic lifestyle was for the simplicity of it. I wanted to live a life closer to nature, rather than be a slave to the modern lifestyle. Now I am growing my business I can see I need to spend more time online, so far being here is my only real experience of that.If there are other ways to let people know about my business I'd like to try them. Word of mouth is a good option and it works, albeit slowly. I have also thought about printed flyers, but would…See More

Natural-woman replied to Herbalist's discussion 'Heirloom Seeds'
The whole thing is both scary and infuriating. I was wanred to be careful about what I plant from now on. This was by a concerned friend who heard GM grown food can infect your own crops within a five mile radius! The trick is to try to grow…

My parents have a service like this and they love it. I can't believe the great goodies they get! They also get some surprise items in the package they get, and they have a lot of fun coming up with creative new recipes with their goodies.

This is starting to become a common practice in most local communities here in Canada, more specifically the Maritimes. I do know from experience and fact that there are plenty of local farmers that are willing to implement this kind of practice. It…

Thanks for the replies. It's good to hear people have had positive experiences with this kind of service, I think it may well appeal to working families and maybe those without transport. It's hard to get to a local market without a car or…

I buy from my local farmer's market because, although there are a few services like you mention in my area, they are forced to charge more due to the delivery costs. For those people who don't live near to a farmer's market, it's…

Natural-woman replied to Dora Day's discussion 'How do we know ?'
It is also possible to be inspected and monitored, which gains you certification. This should provide peace of mind for concerned customers. Of course the term 'organic' is quite wide, so it's worth doing some research and asking a…

Natural-woman replied to Lacey Mortens's discussion 'Bad Press for Organics'
It can be very hard sometimes to challenge these messages. Take a look in any supermarket and you'll see the promotions, discounts and specials are usually on the garbage foods. We just have to keep letting people know about the benefits of the…

Before I started growing my own food, I used a service like this. It wasn't home-delivered though; we had to go to the farm to pick it up ourselves.
