On their Instagram account, Laura Ellis and her family share the day-to-day experience of operating Mt. HopeFarm. Laura's parents also farm with them and being exposed on IG has been an experience they needed to get used to, but have adjusted. A great example of following them has been their recent grape harvest. They have documented how they take such care raising, testing and then harvesting the grapes at just the peak time for eating. And they walk their viewers through their method of getting the grapes to the grocer as quickly as possible so their consumers have the freshest grapes possible at the peak of flavor. A fifth generation farm family on Laura's husband's side, they also are third generation on the land. The family also produces fruit spread and suggests recipes for all sorts of good eats and drinks, including the fabulous Autumn Apple Whiskey Sour! Technology has played a huge part in making a family farm successful by connecting the farm directly to the end consumer. In particular, consumers can easily go from Instagram to the website and even to the exact recipe because Laura uses Link Tree for the consumer's convenience.
