  • 310 Selling Flowers to Florists with Abundant Blooms Flower Farm
    Apr 30 2025
    When Ruth Ann Majauskas first launched her flower farm in 2020, she tried a little bit of everything—farmers markets, retail, subscriptions. But the magic happened when she shifted her focus entirely to wholesale… selling flowers directly to florists. What started as trial and error quickly evolved into a streamlined system with loyal buyers, consistent orders, and a workflow she could count on. Now, Ruth Ann runs a thriving wholesale flower farm business—and she’s helping other flower farmers learn how to do the same. In today’s episode, she shares how she built her florist-focused business model, what makes the wholesale florist buyer tick, how she finds and communicates with them, what software she uses to manage weekly orders, and more. She even reveals how she uses the same marketing framework I teach inside Farm Marketing School—tailored specifically to florists. 🎧 Tune in to hear how Ruth Ann built her flower business from the ground up—and how you can too. Meet Today's Podcast Guest: Ruth Ann Majauskas Ruth Ann Majauskas is the owner of Abundant Blooms Flower Farm in Dorr, Michigan. She started her farm in 2020 with her then three small children in tow. After dabbling in a few different sales models, she discovered her niche—selling flowers to florists—and now sells exclusively to them. In December 2024, Ruth Ann launched a YouTube channel and online course, Selling Flowers to Florists, to teach other flower farmers how to do what she does. She's a wife and homeschooling mama to five children. When she’s not farming, she enjoys trips to Lake Michigan with her family and reading a few paragraphs from her book each night before bed.

  • 309 Starting a UPick from Scratch Inside a FMS Coaching Call with David Heeks
    Apr 23 2025

    Imagine launching a brand-new U-Pick strawberry business... with only a few months to get everything in place. No website. No email list. No customer base.

    That’s exactly the challenge David Heeks faced this spring—and in this episode, you’ll hear how we mapped out his entire sales funnel during a live Farm Marketing School coaching call.

    David had just completed the Farm Marketing School (FMS) project on "Auditing Your Sales Funnel," and came prepared to share his homework. We walked through every stage of the customer value journey, from building awareness and engagement all the way to repeat buying—and we identified the key gaps he needed to fill fast.

    🎧 Whether you’re just starting your farm biz or revamping an existing one, this episode is packed with practical ideas and “aha” moments about how to think through your customer’s journey—plus a cool little demo of how I used ChatGPT live to help David implement part of his plan on the call!

  • 308 Inside a Sales Funnel: How I Became a Raw Dog Food Superfan in 7 Days
    Apr 16 2025

    It started with a few innocent dog scratches. My dog Daisy was itching like crazy, and I began to wonder: could it be her food?

    One Google search later, I found myself tumbling headfirst into a raw dog food rabbit hole—complete with Facebook ads, blog articles, YouTube videos, and a subscription box I could not refuse.

    In just seven days, I went from “hmm, maybe I’ll try something new” to full-blown raw food DIYer with a freezer full of meat and a meal plan I created myself. And I didn’t just buy dog food—I bought into an identity shift. I wanted to become the kind of person who makes her own dog food.

    In this episode, I walk you through that transformation—from unaware to superfan—and break down the stages of the sales funnel framework that brought me there. I’m also challenging YOU to think critically about how your farm’s sales funnel is designed to do the same thing for your customers.

Plain language marketing

I love that this is specific to farms, but it can be applied across industries. Corrina takes you through one solution at a time, explaining the how and why. Each episode is not overwhelming, but building into a whole marketing plan.
