Portfolio · Farm-gate sales
A family farm site that takes beef orders by the cut, lists the open days and answers freezer questions at night.
Meehan Farms is a real business in Carp, Ontario, and this is the site we built for it.
People who buy from a farm gate arrive with very different questions. The beef customer wants to know what a quarter is, how much freezer it needs and when the processing date is. The breeder wants to see the herd. The gardener just wants to know if there is compost and whether you will load the trailer. Most farm websites answer none of that, so every question becomes a phone call during chores.
We built Meehan Farms a site that answers each of them on its own page. Beef, breeding cattle, hay and straw, and compost each get a page in plain words. An order form lets a customer pick a quarter, a half or individual packs and tick the cuts they want, and nothing is charged until the farm confirms the price and the pickup date. Open days and market Saturdays sit on an events page, and the towns the farm delivers to each have their own page.
Start, from $50/mo + $199 setup
The first screen is the herd on pasture, moving, with a short request form beside it: name, contact, town, product and a rough pickup date. A visitor knows in a few seconds what the farm sells and how to ask for it.
Start, from $50/mo + $199 setup
Quarter and side beef, registered Shorthorn breeding stock, hay and straw, and compost and manure each get a card and a full page. Each page explains how that product is sold, by the cut, the bale or the yard, so a buyer arrives knowing what to ask for.
Core, from $150/mo + $199 setup
Customers choose a product and a size, a quarter, a half, a whole animal, a beef box or individual packs, then tick the cuts they want and how many of each. The order comes to the farm to confirm the price and the pickup date. Nothing is paid online, so nobody commits before talking it through.
Core, from $150/mo + $199 setup
Open houses, compost weekends, family days and Saturday market stalls are listed with the date, the hours, the address and what to bring. Each event is added once in the back office and shows on its own page.
Start, from $50/mo + $199 setup
Photos of the beef, the pastures and the herd sit in a filterable gallery on the homepage and a full gallery page, so a buyer can see how the animals are raised before they order.
Start, from $50/mo + $199 setup
Hanging weight, cut sheets, freezer space and deposits are the questions buyers ask before a quarter or a side. The FAQ answers them in plain words, where people look at night.
Core, from $150/mo + $199 setup
Carp, Kanata, Almonte, Arnprior, Dunrobin and the other nearby towns each get a page about buying from the farm from there, with the drive and the pickup or delivery spelled out.
Core, from $150/mo + $199 setup
A chat assistant answers questions about the products in plain language at any hour, and passes a buyer who is ready on to the farm with their details. The questions that come in at nine at night still get an answer.
Core, from $150/mo + $199 setup
Every order and request, with the cuts, sizes and pickup dates, lands in one inbox in the back office. From there the farm can confirm, quote and invoice without a stack of texts and notes.

Meehan Farms is a real family farm on Upper Dwyer Hill Road near Carp, and this is the site we built for it. If you sell from your own farm gate, your version would carry your own products, prices, pickup details and photos, with the same order form, events page and product pages. Start covers the public site and its forms. Core adds the order form, the events page, the town pages, the chat assistant and the inbox where orders become invoices. Tell us what you sell and where people pick it up, and we will show you a draft built on your details.
