Beef Selling
What Could Be
There I was, eating dinner, an Irish Dexter tri-tip with potatoes. They were asking where someone could buy Irish Dexter beef. What timing, I had just finished creating my online store.
I had never had an actual online store before where anyone could go and buy the products our farm had for sale. I got calls from time-to-time, but it was always hit and miss. Worse, I would not have the email address of the caller so that I could follow up.
The new online store could even be its own website. It had our farm name, pictures, how we raised our Dexters. our phone number, and even a Follow button capturing their email address.
For the first time, our farm had an online store. Individual cuts of our beef were there. Pork cuts were there. Our pigs for sale were there. All the live Irish Dexters for sale were there. Even the wholesale beef halves and beef wholes were there. A nightmare solved!
I could taste the amazing Irish Dexter tri-tip. Then suddenly I wokeup. It was all a dream. Oh, if only I thought.
