00:00:00.125 --> 00:00:02.291
My name is Laura Green, owner of J&L

00:00:02.291 --> 00:00:03.916
Green Farm. We're located in the

00:00:03.916 --> 00:00:05.291
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia

00:00:05.458 --> 00:00:08.833
in Edinburgh. We are a pasture-based meat

00:00:08.833 --> 00:00:10.540
farm. We provide beef, pork,

00:00:10.541 --> 00:00:11.791
and chicken. That looks like

00:00:11.791 --> 00:00:14.583
rotational grazing, GMO-free grains, and

00:00:14.583 --> 00:00:16.165
then we also partner up with

00:00:16.166 --> 00:00:17.915
other farms who are like-minded

00:00:17.916 --> 00:00:20.041
like us to bring in extra offerings such

00:00:20.041 --> 00:00:22.083
as raw honey, raw milk cheese,

00:00:22.541 --> 00:00:24.124
pasture-raised eggs. One

00:00:24.166 --> 00:00:26.415
of the things with being a small business

00:00:26.416 --> 00:00:28.333
owner is being able to have the

00:00:28.333 --> 00:00:30.958
technology behind what

00:00:30.958 --> 00:00:33.291
we're doing and being able to reach out

00:00:33.291 --> 00:00:35.500
to the world beyond just

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:37.415
our county. Started out with

00:00:37.458 --> 00:00:39.832
another website that was pretty much just

00:00:39.833 --> 00:00:41.125
selling widgets. That

00:00:41.125 --> 00:00:42.915
worked okay, but we actually sell

00:00:42.916 --> 00:00:45.500
all of our meat by the pound, and so that

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:46.499
was a little bit hard if

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:47.583
something was four and a half

00:00:47.583 --> 00:00:50.458
pounds, as well as in not being able to

00:00:50.458 --> 00:00:51.666
support different drop

00:00:51.666 --> 00:00:54.000
sites. And decided that I actually

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.083
wanted to look for another website that

00:00:56.083 --> 00:00:57.750
could really support us

00:00:57.750 --> 00:00:59.040
with the different delivery

00:00:59.125 --> 00:01:01.625
points, as well as having different

00:01:01.625 --> 00:01:03.125
pricing tiered for shipping.

00:01:03.458 --> 00:01:05.583
I definitely was looking for a

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.458
website and a software that was very easy

00:01:08.458 --> 00:01:10.915
to use, first off customer-friendly. I

00:01:10.916 --> 00:01:11.999
was also looking for

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.458
a website that would fully support us

00:01:14.458 --> 00:01:16.540
having drop site points, being able to

00:01:16.541 --> 00:01:17.832
say when the next one

00:01:17.875 --> 00:01:20.957
was happening, what time, and being able

00:01:20.958 --> 00:01:21.999
to have automation

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.707
happening, as well with email, and be

00:01:25.708 --> 00:01:27.625
able to support our bookkeeping side of

00:01:27.625 --> 00:01:29.249
things as well. Some of the favorite

00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:30.750
features that I have,

00:01:31.125 --> 00:01:33.165
definitely the subscribe and save, and

00:01:33.166 --> 00:01:34.833
being able to roll that in for my

00:01:34.833 --> 00:01:36.000
customers. That has been

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.083
a favorite and something that we've

00:01:38.083 --> 00:01:39.750
really found value the drop

00:01:39.750 --> 00:01:41.832
sites and being able to fully

00:01:41.875 --> 00:01:44.500
support our drop site schedule. That's

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:46.375
really awesome. So I

00:01:46.375 --> 00:01:48.625
definitely found that the efficiency

00:01:48.875 --> 00:01:51.499
of my time was so much better. I probably

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:53.166
was saving about four

00:01:53.166 --> 00:01:54.832
or five hours every week

00:01:54.875 --> 00:01:57.040
with using GrazeCart because it was

00:01:57.041 --> 00:02:01.083
bringing a streamlined process between

00:02:01.083 --> 00:02:03.125
the order fulfillment,

00:02:03.416 --> 00:02:05.750
taking payments, sending an email to the

00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:07.374
customers for their total

00:02:07.375 --> 00:02:09.666
invoice. I recommend GrazeCart

00:02:09.833 --> 00:02:11.916
all the time to anybody who's starting a

00:02:11.916 --> 00:02:13.333
farm. I definitely would

00:02:13.333 --> 00:02:14.541
highly recommend GrazeCart.
