Digital Products for Your Farm Stay Business
Digital products are a natural extension of a farm stay business. While your guests experience your property and hospitality in person, there’s significant demand for the knowledge, systems, and designs you’ve developed behind the scenes. Other farm owners, aspiring agritourism entrepreneurs, and even your past guests want access to your templates, guides, and planning resources—without the time commitment of building them from scratch. Digital products require minimal ongoing support, can be sold repeatedly, and position you as an expert in your niche.
Farm Stay Business Planning Template
What it is: A comprehensive spreadsheet or PDF workbook that walks buyers through site selection, regulatory requirements, infrastructure costs, revenue projections, and insurance considerations specific to farm stays. This is your actual planning process packaged into a reusable format.
Who buys it: Landowners and farmers considering launching a farm stay operation but unsure where to start or what they’re missing.
How to create it: Document the decisions and research you did before launching your farm stay. Include cost breakdowns, timeline recommendations, regulatory checklists by region, and decision trees for common bottlenecks. Add screenshots of your actual permits, liability documents (redacted), and zoning inquiries. Use Google Sheets or a PDF template builder like Canva to create something clean and downloadable.
Where to sell it: Sell through Gumroad, your own website, or Teachable. You can also list it on specialized platforms like AgriTourism.com or farm-focused Facebook groups where your audience congregates.

What it is: A detailed guide covering what activities, meals, and experiences you offer during each season, including setup timelines, supply lists, and troubleshooting tips for common guest requests or weather issues.
Who buys it: Other farm stay operators who want to build seasonal programming but lack the experience to design it themselves.
How to create it: Pull together your seasonal calendars, activity schedules, and meal plans you already use. Add photos of your setup, equipment needs, and backup plans for bad weather. Include feedback from past guests about what worked. Format as a downloadable PDF or video series walking through each season’s rhythm.
Where to sell it: Etsy, Gumroad, or your website. Promote through agritourism Facebook groups and farming communities on Instagram.

How to create it: Use Canva to create 20–30 branded templates in your farm’s style. Document your best-performing captions and hashtag strategies.

Who buys it: Farm stay owners who suspect they’re underpricing, want to implement seasonal rates, or need help tracking profitability.
How to create it: Calculate your own costs—labor, utilities, maintenance, food, insurance—and create worksheets that buyers can customize. Include case studies of your pricing changes and their impact. Add templates for tracking occupancy, revenue per guest, and cost per experience. Provide before-and-after examples of pricing adjustments you’ve made.
Where to sell it: Gumroad, Teachable, or your website. Promote to farm business groups and agricultural extension networks.

Who buys it: New farm stay operators who need legal protections but can’t afford a lawyer, or existing operators wanting to strengthen their documentation.
How to create it: Work with a lawyer to create a template version of your own waivers and guest agreements (keep your specific language but generalize it). Include guidance on what’s legally required by state. Package as Word documents buyers can edit. Add a disclaimer that this isn’t legal advice and suggest they review with an attorney.
Where to sell it: Gumroad, Etsy, or your website. Promote through farming forums, agritourism associations, and insurance broker communities.

Getting Started With Digital Products
- Start with the Farm Stay Business Planning Template—it requires minimal recording or video work and leverages knowledge you’ve already developed. Package it as a PDF or Google Sheets file and test it with one past guest or fellow farmer first.
- Choose one platform to sell from (Gumroad is simplest for beginners; it handles payments and delivery automatically).
- Price your first product conservatively ($19–$34) to generate initial sales and reviews quickly.
- Once you have 5–10 sales and testimonials, create your second product—likely the Guest Experience Guide or Marketing Calendar.
- Use email feedback from buyers to improve your products and understand what else your audience needs.
- Reinvest 20% of digital product revenue into marketing (Facebook ads, email list growth, Pinterest pins) to scale sales.
Pricing Your Digital Products
Farm stay operators are business owners, not casual buyers—they expect professional quality and real value. Price according to the time and money your product saves them. A planning template that prevents costly mistakes should cost $27–$47. A revenue optimization workbook that helps someone increase prices by 15% should cost $37–$67. Pricing too low signals low quality; pricing too high creates skepticism without testimonials or video previews. Test prices at the lower end initially, then raise them as you accumulate reviews and case studies showing real results.
Bundle products strategically: offer a “Complete Farm Stay Startup Kit” (planning template + legal documents + marketing calendar) for $79–$127 instead of selling each separately. This increases perceived value and lifetime customer value while requiring minimal additional creation work.
