Built for farms already drowning in the orders
A farm website has to tell the truth about what is in the freezer, where you will be this week, and how to actually order.
Here is the build pattern from the River Mountain Ranch platform and five further North Carolina farms: a public farm site the family can keep current, plus a customer portal, standing orders, drop-off routing, market schedules, and a farm-office back end that keeps the site fresh as a side effect.
This is not a claim that I serve every farm. It is a direct account of the farm vertical first built for River Mountain Ranch and then applied to five further North Carolina farms - Contentnea, North Fork, Dry Ridge, Lilly Den, and Windy Hill - each with that farm's own facts, prices, and legal vehicle.
The problems this build addressed
- A Wix, Squarespace, Barn2Door, or WordPress site the family cannot edit, so prices, hours, and this-week's-market go stale
- Orders arriving by text, email, Facebook, and a spreadsheet, with no single place that says what was received
- Standing customers who never know if their order went through, and drop-off windows that live in the owner's head
- Legal footguns: a pet-milk operation described as a herdshare, a grain-finished herd called grass-fed, or closed wholesale accounts still listed
- Inventory, member, and billing data sitting in a tool the farm does not own
What the vertical build includes
- A public farm site: home, the products/store with live stock, markets and drop-offs, about, delivery, contact, and per-town local pages
- A customer portal: reserve, standing orders you can change or skip yourself, order history, and a confirmation that the order was received
- A farm office the family runs: inventory, drop-off routing, market POS, billing ledger, events, pages, and photos - one screen that keeps the public site current
- A claims audit that will not invent prices, testimonials, or grass-fed/herdshare status, and that flags leftover template copy from another farm
- A per-URL PRESERVE or 301 map from the old Wix, Squarespace, Barn2Door, or WordPress paths, and a fact-sheet correction loop for every [CONFIRM] row before the real domain points here

Regulated-content review
Prices and cuts | sourced to the farm's own list, or held as [CONFIRM] until supplied | REVIEWED
Legal vehicle (herdshare vs pet-milk, grass-fed vs grain-finished) | sourced to the farm's own wording and NC statute | VERIFIED
Old URL inventory | PRESERVE or 301 assigned | mapped before cutover
Bring me the current site, your real prices, and the orders you are tired of retyping.
I will map what needs to be preserved, what needs confirmation, and what a skeptical reviewer should test.
