December 2025 Farm Marketing News

This season has us reflecting on past successes and looking forward to new growth in 2026 with these questions in mind: What worked? What filled us up in our online lives in a way that made our offline lives feel more deeply connected? How were we able to connect with others across time and space to help folks find delicious, nutritious, environmentally and socially conscious food to feed their families with? How were we able to support a small business owner to actualize their dreams?

Winterspring Farm Increases Sales by 30%

Our work with Winterspring Farm exemplifies the answer to so many of those questions. Winterspring is a Wisconsin-based CSA farm on a mission to make meaningful change in their local food system, and feeding people is only a part of that work. We were so fortunate to collaborate with them through a comprehensive marketing strategy that resulted in:

  • 30% increase in sales

  • A sold out CSA 2 years in a row

  • A sold out seedling sale

  • Improved SEO, with website visits up 185%

Plus indirect improvements like:

  • Less anxiety for the business owners

  • A full, reliable staff with much less hiring effort

  • Having the ability to confidently plan for the future

Wishing You a Happy New Year, with Gratitude

We are so grateful to each person reading this message. Whether you’re a farmer, a rancher, government or NPO staff improving your community’s access to fresh food, or are otherwise advocating for a food system that truly cares for the land, animals, and people within it: the work you do is so important, and we love getting to be a part of it. On a larger scale, it is a beautiful, heartening thing to witness the work of so many people around the continent pouring themselves into bettering our food system. On a personal level, we feel incredibly fortunate to get to do this work with such dedicated, resilient, and hopeful folks.

So from all of us at Grapevine, thank you for everything you do. We hope you have the happiest of New Years!
