RVA Sunrise #10 Direct Sales from the Ranch:
Smart Move or Endless Hustle? So, you’re selling your meat or farm products directly to the public; online, farmers’ markets, restaurants, wherever. Or maybe you’re thinking about jumping into the game because you’ve heard it’s the ticket to that ‘premium price.’ Sounds great, right? But here’s the thing: by the time you’ve spent your weekends at farmers’ markets, run ads, managed logistics, answered a million emails, and crunched the numbers, that premium starts looking a little less…premium. Let’s get real: 1️⃣ What’s your time, focus, and energy actually worth? 2️⃣ Is running a food distribution business really what you want to do, or did you just want to ranch, farm, and enjoy life?

Spoiler: it’s not all Instagram-worthy moments and smiling customers. Let’s figure out if this is actually working—or if it’s working you to death.
