FarmOutLoud
A quarterly for farms that sell direct.
Practical numbers, experiments, systems, and honest lessons from farmers building real businesses.
What are you changing this year?
The premise
Farm Out Loud is a new print quarterly for independent farms selling directly to their communities.
We’re interested in the things farmers usually talk about with other farmers: what’s working, what isn’t, what changed, what it costs, what they’re trying next, and what they’ve decided to quit.
Less polished marketing.
More useful transparency.
What’s inside Issue 001
January 2027 — What Are You Changing This Year?
The founding issue will be mailed free to approximately 2,000 selected direct-market farms.
- Five Farms, Five Changes for 2027
- Should You Add Another Pickup Location?
- The January Farm Marketing Calendar
- The Numbers to Know Before You Grow
- What We Quit Doing
Why Farm Out Loud?
Farming has always advanced by people comparing notes.
In an era when polished content is increasingly cheap, firsthand experience becomes more valuable: actual numbers, actual mistakes, actual experiments, actual farms.
Farm Out Loud exists to make more of that visible.
