Don's Thoughts on Websites & Farming

We thought we’d take a few moments to ask them some questions about their farm & their experience with Small Farm Central.

How long have you been working with Small Farm Central?
We have been with Small farm Central from the beginning; we were one of the original sites as we met Simon right as he was getting ready to launch this idea.

Did you have a website before SFC?
We did not have a website before our SFC website. The setting up of our first website through SFC made it really easy. I have always received prompt answers to my questions and been able to make things work for me quickly.

You recently switched from a Basic Template to a Premium Template. Can you describe what that process was like?
The process of switching to a premium template was easier then I ever imagined. I had it up and running in almost no time. It also revived my interest in the website which had diminished after a long hard season.

What advice would you give to a farm who is considering starting up their first website?
I would tell a farm to use the SFC system as it has many features that are great for the business of farming and for business in general. It is important to have a website that is dynamic and evolving which is what I am able to do easily with my SFC site.

What is your favorite part of being a farmer?
I truly love watching long term crops, from seed to root cellar, and being able to pull it out again almost a year after it had begun and eating it knowing all of its lifecycle.
