"Marketing Farm Products: And How To Thrive Beyond The Sidewalk,"
Written for rural entrepreneurs by a rural entrepreneur

If you don't like it—any reason, 30 days—I'll happily buy it back!!!

Comments from readers:
"Ellie, these books are AWESOME. No flattery, just fact. IMO they're must-haves for anyone selling anything from the farm. I think this material is terrific!"
"Thank you, Ellie –
I got your book, read it, re-read the marketing very closely, and suddenly, I have started a business in the country. Thank you for helping me to focus on what it is I can provide for my customer and how to say so in a way that gets it across."

"Just bought your book--took it with me while visiting another farm, and couldn't get it back from her; so I need another one. From what I've read so far, it's definitely worth paying twice for. I've read everything out there on marketing. If you saw my library, it would make your head spin. It's nice to read something pertaining to farming."

"I had the pleasure of attending an Ellie Winslow marketing seminar: " Growing Your Rural Business: Attitudes, Marketing Secrets and Methods" (derived from the above book)

"Ms. Winslow has the rare talent of motivation. Through her excellent guidance and encouragement we were able to define our goals and how to attain them. Her handouts and workshop provided focus and direction. I now have resource material, a workbook and a directed plan for my business of raising alpacas and selling their elegant alpaca products. I would highly recommend her work to ANYONE who wants to move up to the next level."
