Web Technology
In addition to great food, Emmanuel Farm also does technology! Before we purchased our farmstead, Jonathan spent two decades as a web developer, system administrator and IT manager. We understand the technology behind the Internet; we also know the budget and time pressures every farmer and small business faces.
Done well, the Internet is a great tool to nurture a connection with your customers, to tell your story, to explain your vision, to show off your facilities and to market your products. Done poorly, it's just another drain on your time.
This Emmanuel Farm website is an example of some of our work. Here are some of the things we can do for you.
If you're just starting out, we can
- provide a basic overview of Internet technology
- help you obtain a domain name and locate a web hosting company
- design a basic web site that tells your story, lists your products and provides directions
- build credibility by providing links to resouces that have been helpful to you
Once your customers know the basics, you can expand your site with more interactive, dynamic content:
- photo galleries and automatic slideshows
- blogs to easily update your customers on the latest farm news
- live webcam photos of your farm
- response forms and auto-calculating order sheets
As business grows, we'll assist you to
- leverage free, open source software to manage your business
- integrate web orders into your accounting system
- develop a on-line catalog and accept payments on-line

We're here to help you grow your business! We look forward to hearing from you soon.
