In this episode, I speak with Lora Wood about navigating the issues with print collateral (a marketing word for printed items like brochures) and how to get started with your farm business. While it may not seem like stimulating conversation, I think you will find quite a few nuggets of marketing advice.

Saturday Dec 03, 2022
Saturday Dec 03, 2022
