Marketing School for Growers is a compilation of top-notch farm marketing tip sheets, worksheets, and planning resources, organized into 20 lessons. It is dedicated to helping New York State farmers make the most of their marketing efforts.

Cornell Cooperative Extension has assembled these resources for part-time and full-time farmers who are looking to expand sales of retail and wholesale farm products, such as fresh produce, meats, herbs, horticulture crops, maple syrup, and processed goods.

The advice on this website comes mostly from fellow farmers, small business marketing gurus, your customers, and local food advocates. Trust me, this is REALLY GOOD stuff.

None of these lessons are long. In fact, they are rather brief. They are a mixture of practical marketing research and the best of otherwise long chapters, articles, and presentations. If you are looking for farm marketing gems, you will find them here. These 20 lessons include topics for which there may be too much or too little information already available.
