AGAINST THE GRAIN™
Farm Stand Business Guide + Operator's Toolkit
Your farm stand should be making money. Not just keeping you busy.
You can have a beautiful farm stand, loyal customers, and plenty of sales and still wonder where all the money went.
Because revenue isn't profit. And busy doesn't always mean successful.
I built Against the Grain to help you understand the business behind a profitable honor-system farm stand, whether you're starting from scratch or trying to make an existing stand earn more without taking over your life.
Two volumes. 178 pages. Real business tools.

I BUILT THE BUSINESS. THEN I WROTE DOWN WHAT I LEARNED.
I'm Carissa, the woman behind Financial Freedom Farmgirl
My farm stand started with a table full of squash I couldn't give away fast enough. People started leaving money, and eventually that little table became a 10×10 honor-system farm stand.
Today, it operates without an employee standing behind the counter and is one of several income streams I've built around my properties.
But here's what I've learned:
The easiest part of a farm stand to copy is the part you can see. The decisions behind it are what make the difference.
I've spent years learning about products, pricing, customers, expenses, vendors, and the systems that make this business work.
Against the Grain brings those lessons together so you don't have to figure everything out the hard way.

Will this work in my area?
Results depend on demand, location, products, pricing, expenses, and execution. Check applicable zoning, food safety, and other local requirements before opening.

Yes. Future updates to the guide are included at no additional charge. As the guide grows, buyers get future additions at no extra cost.
