Madison Farms logoplate and online
Thompson Farms recently premiered their new Web site complete with a secure shopping cart, so consumers can browse their products (they sell everything from sausage to pork chops) and buy their all-natural pork products online. Their new Web site has been effective in saving time, increasing orders and realizing sales across the entire southeast. This web site was funded by a $71,000 marketing grant awarded to the Florida Pork Improvement Group. If there's a grant available to your organization, The Market Place can write it for you.  We've been successful in obtaining marketing grants for several organizations and can do the same for you.
