Ruthie Pepler at Dogwood Hills Guest Farm www.thefarmex.com Teaching our guests about their food, where it comes from, how it gets to your table and how they can find farm fresh products in their home town.

Think of how many do grocery pick-up these days. It's a thing these days. Great work, Barnhill!

Thank you for the wonderful idea!

This is the software platform we use for Russellville Community Market: https://locallygrown.net/ Our actual website is: russellville.locallygrown.net

We LOVE the brown paper farmers' market BAGS that are available through the Arkansas Department of Agriculture!

Could we get more information on the delivery service? Did you charge a delivery fee?

Also, when selling online to customers as a market, did you upcharge for packaging or card transaction fees or anything?

question above

We do charge an extra fee to people who pay with a credit or debit card. I always tell them it is cheaper to pay with cash or personal check.

My husband and I are starting our produce business this year. If you all dont mind I will be getting in touch with some of you via email soon! Thank you all for the helpful information, I have enjoyed this.

Thank you!

Chelsea, be sure to reach out to our team at Extension if you need training on produce safety training! We have another training as soon as then end of this month and more coming up. www.uaex.uada.edu/producesafety rweaver@uada.edu

So helpful!

ASBTDC is such a great asset for the state.

I believe Elizabeth and I may become good buddies :)

Great information

Poll did not show in my screen

Head to www.asbtdc.org/consulting to become a client of the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center. My email is Elizabeth.young@asbtdc.org, (870) 918-1740 and we would LOVE to work with anyone who needs assistance!

Ruth - so sorry about that!!!

Difficulties with selling Beef on Facebook. I get lots of my posts that they will not post. Need options on how to get the posts to be published.

Sherry - I am working with another client right now on that same thing, they are having challenges with FB and selling their whole/half/quarter cows (worked in Spring 2020 but rejecting same exact posts now). We are studying FB policy and looking into a few other things as FB warned their account to "prepare for advertising changes coming soon that may negatively impact ad measures"

Thank you all for the questions! I'll email you directly after the call is over if you want to drop an email in the chat.

Thanks Liz for the input on Sherry's question!

This sounds like a great web program. Is this open right now to use?

track your ag looks awesome.so happy I joined this meeting. thank you all so very much

agreed!

Hi, Elizabeth and Sherry! I will look into this more. Some of those advertising changes are coming with the new iOS update and how we are able to track iPhone users. Facebook policy does prohibit the sale of animals, so it may have to do with the wording if it picks it up as selling a live animal versus beef.

yes, this looks very helpful.

Thank-you for all the information!

Excellent!!!

How do you get into the beta testing?
