How Does the FUNdraising Program Work?
It’s simple, profitable and fun! Follow these six steps for FUNdraising success.
- Step 1: Read the Frequently Asked Questions below.
- Step 2: Email us at fundraiser@elegantfarmer.com with your non-profit organization’s name and proposed selling dates.
- Step 3: Once we email you back with approval, visit the Forms tab below to print out our product sell sheet and two-sided product promotional flyer. Make copies and give one sell sheet and one promotional flyer to each seller.
- Step 4: Have fun selling The Elegant Farmer’s delicious foods to your supporters.
- Step 5: Collect all the sell sheets and add up a total number for each item. Visit the Forms tab below and click on the Simply the Best order form to enter the total number of each item desired for your group. Once you submit the form your order is sent to The Elegant Farmer staff who will create your order. Please submit your order at least 10 days in advance of your desired pick-up date.
- Step 6: Checks collected from your supporters should be made out to YOUR organization not to the Elegant Farmer. Payment in full is required when the order is picked up between 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on desired date. Please have one check for payment made out to the Elegant Farmer for total sales minus the organization’s profits.

Who do I sell to?
Everyone!!! Make a list of the friends, neighbors, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other relatives or people to whom you would like to offer these delicious foods. If appropriate, parents can take the sell sheet to work or meetings.
Why should they buy?
Outside of supporting your good cause, The Elegant Farmer offers premium, high quality foods you can be proud to sell. Our items are made locally by hand with delicious, all-natural ingredients.
What should the sellers know?
People want to know what they are supporting. A stated purpose for the funds such as new band uniforms or a particular trip is helpful in the selling process.
How long should we try to sell?
It is our experience that a 2-3 week period to sell the products is enough time to be effective. Set and share a deadline date so everyone knows when to bring the forms back. The Elegant Farmer needs 10 days to prepare your order before delivery or pick-up.
Allow 1-2 days to total your orders in between sales deadline and submission to Elegant Farmer.
