Season 1 Episode 321
If your farm sells bulk meat, you’ve probably experienced this challenge: a customer places their deposit… and then has to wait 4–6 months before pickup. That’s a long time to keep someone excited, informed, and connected. But what if that “dead zone” in your customer journey could actually become your secret weapon for building loyalty, reducing buyer’s remorse, and increasing repeat purchases?
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Breann Detweiler, a pastured meat farmer in my Farm Marketing School. During a private 1:1 call, we workshop how to build a powerful customer nurture path between signup and delivery. Whether you sell bulk beef, lamb, pork, chickens, or even a CSA share—this episode is packed with insights that will help you design better communication touchpoints that educate, reassure, and delight your customers.
Today's Podcast Guest: Breann DetweilerBreann Detweiler is a pastured meat farmer from Chesapeake Valley Farm in Pennsylvania, who raises beef, pork, and chicken—and runs a bulk meat program that serves dozens of families each year. She’s focused on improving the customer experience and building systems that scale. In this episode, Bre lets you peek behind the curtain as she and I brainstorm and refine her strategy to build a better post-purchase nurture journey.
