Best Practices

• •Emphasize Family & Heritage: Consistently weave the story of the multi-generational family farm into your narratives. Use phrases like "our family," "generations of farming," "father and son team."
• •Highlight Freshness & Quality: Use descriptive words that evoke taste and freshness – "nutty," "sweet," "superior texture," "freshly milled," "small batch." Explain *why* it's fresh (e.g., milled on the farm, small batches).
• •Maintain Authenticity & Transparency: Speak directly and honestly about your process. Avoid overly corporate jargon. Share insights into farming and milling. For example, openly discuss regenerative farming practices.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Stewardship: Instead of just saying "sustainable," explain the practices: "we blend crop residue back into the soil," "we avoid burning fields to create wildlife habitats."
• •Use Warm, Approachable Language: Write as if you're talking to a friend or neighbor who cares about good food and where it comes from. Use welcoming phrases and a tone that builds trust and connection. Examples: "From our farm to your table," "We hope your family enjoys..."
