Scaling an Online Farm Store with Local Line: Melvin’s Farm to Fork
Gayle and her husband, Thad, come from six generations of dairy farmers on both sides of the family. However, as the world around them evolved, they saw the need to adapt. Their journey from traditional dairy farming to a thriving, community-centric business model called Melvin’s Farm to Fork has allowed them to profitably continue the family legacy. Looking to better streamline farm store inventory and add online sales, Gayle found Local Line, the sales software for farms that propelled them into the digital age while maintaining their core mission: to connect with their community.
