WHERE WE SHINE
Strategic Planning
Every farm has different goals, small and large. Whatever yours are, we build a strategy around them. We dig into your data, figure out what's working, craft a plan forward, and make intentional adjustments along the way. No one-size-fits-all plans, no shooting in the dark. A clear, tailored roadmap built around where you want to go.
Branding
Your brand is what sets you apart and attracts the customers who are the perfect fit for your farm. That looks a little different for everyone. From your logo to your voice, we help you build a brand that feels authentically you and makes people feel like they've finally found exactly what they've been looking for.
Website Design & Ecommerce
A beautiful, functional website with a seamless shopping experience built right in. It should tell your story, showcase your products, and turn visitors into loyal customers. It should also make fulfillment easy and efficient on your end. Because a great website is built to work for both sides of your business.
AI & Automations
Marketing moves fast. We stay current with the latest AI and market shifts, using the right tools and automations to optimize your backend and elevate your customer experience. We can help you do the same.

ABOUT
How It All Started
Marie was tired of how clunky and slow shopping for nutritious small farm food for her family was.
Navigating farmers markets, buying clubs, specialty stores, and websites was a time-consuming challenge. You shouldn't have to be an expert just to source food from small farms.
She talked to her farmers and learned they were frustrated, too.
They were juggling mismatched software, intimidated by selling online, and stretched too thin to tackle big projects like building a website or strategic planning. They knew something had to change... they just didn't know where to start.
What started with one little farm organically grew into something bigger.
Marie Ideas was created to meet small farms where they are and help them grow. Whether that means building everything from the ground up, tackling one project at a time, or coaching farmers to confidently handle it themselves . We bring the strategy, tools, and expertise to make it happen.
We stay ahead of the latest marketing trends and AI tools so you don't have to. We take the heart and grit of your farm and make it shine online, so you can get back to doing what you love.
