Farming or running a farm shop on your own?

No staff to hand things to, so the orders, deliveries and posts all land on you. I set up AI to take them off your plate, then look after it every month.

Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.

What I'd set up for you

Time back, with no staff to hand things to.

Orders in one place

Box orders, shop pre-orders and messages collected into one list.

On your ownDone while you work, not after closing.

What's in this week

Your website and socials updated from a quick note or a photo.

On your ownGood work brings in more, without an evening on your phone.

Delivery rounds

Box deliveries in the shortest order, with every customer told their window.

On your ownCustomers kept in the loop while you're driving.

Seasonal promotion

Pick-your-own, events and seasonal produce promoted at the right time.

On your ownOne less thing to remember on your own.

Talk your admin

A voice note on the drive home becomes the quote, the invoice and the customer's text.

On your ownNo office to come back to: it's done before you're home.

Every business is different. I start by sitting down with you to see how your week actually works, then suggest only what will save you real time.

An example · made up

Box day

Thursday's orders closed at midnight. By 6am the packing list is printed, the round is planned and every customer has a delivery window.

From Tiptree to Dedham, the farm shops and producers around Colchester sell on trust and word of mouth. Clear, up-to-date information online brings people out to you.

Hear Amy take a call

Brambleford Farm

A mum books pumpkin picking and asks about veg box delivery.

Made-up call, 1:17. Amy is the same AI assistant that answers 01206 636 400.

Read the call
  1. Amy Hello, Brambleford Farm in Tiptree. I'm Amy, Ash's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Ash gets your message. How can I help?
  2. Caller Hi! Are you doing pumpkin picking this weekend? My two are absolutely desperate to go.
  3. Amy We are! Saturday and Sunday, ten till four, and it's best to book a slot. Which day were you thinking?
  4. Caller Sunday, if there's anything late morning?
  5. Amy I'll just check the slots.
  6. Amy Sunday at half eleven has space. You pay for the pumpkins you pick, from two pounds each.
  7. Caller Ooh, perfect. Four of us, please, two grown-ups and two kids. It's Becky Turner.
  8. Amy Done, Becky. Sunday at half eleven, for four. Wellies are a good idea, as the field gets muddy.
  9. Caller Noted! Oh, and do you deliver veg boxes? We're in Tolleshunt Knights.
  10. Amy Yes. The box round comes through Tolleshunt Knights on Thursdays, and orders close on Tuesday night. I'll text you this week's list with your booking.
  11. Caller Amazing. Thank you so much!
  12. Amy You're welcome. Enjoy the pumpkins, Becky.
