Sell Your Farm Products Online
Do you make something on your farm that could be sold online? If so, you are not alone. There are many farmers that are earning a second stream of income from products that are either produced on their property or are made from what they produce.
Some products that you’ll find online from farmers include:
- Goat’s milk soap
- Dressed heritage turkeys
- Wine
- Garlic
- Syrup
- Honey
- Beeswax candles
These are just a few of the many things that can be marketed online. If you live in a rural area and have nowhere to sell your products, perhaps starting your own website would be profitable. After writing about the cost of vendors insurance for farmer’s markets in my post yesterday, I realized that selling online is definitely cheaper than paying for a summertime vendors license and insurance!
If the thought of setting up your own website frightens you, there is always help available, and with the right people it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. One of my favorite website companies that can help you integrate a shopping system into your website is Homestead.com . You could literally setup a website today and be online selling tomorrow (even earlier if you don’t want a personalized domain name).
If you have any questions about setting up a website, don’t hesitate to drop me a line here in the comments section. I’m a webmaster and would like to see you succeed on the Internet!
