Helpful Hints

To know before you start:

  • FARMSTAY IS A SUBSCRIPTION SITE. The PROMOTE YOUR FARM tab (in the site header and footer) has all the info you need about the PAID (and FREE) LEVELS. If you only want a FREE listing, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE and email us at hello@farmstayus.com with the info requested on the Promote Your Farm page.
  • This system times out so hit save often! Be especially careful with Description, Accommodations, and Photos. If you get a message that says “your member i.d. is invalid”, you have timed out and will be unable to save the information entered on that page! Take a screenshot and either start over or send to us so we can enter the information for you.
  • The first time you exit this sign up form, you will be locked out until we authorize your entry as a valid farm. After that, you can enter and exit at will.

For this tab:

  • Title = farm/ranch name.
  • Promo Copy appears just below your farm name on your page to feature discounts (e.g. 6 days or longer 10% off) or can be a simple message (e.g. collect farm fresh eggs!)  You have 30 spaces.
  • Booking Platform ties to the “Book Now” button. Fill this field with the URL for whatever reservation system you are using (eg. Airbnb, Resnexus or your own reservation system).  If you don’t use online booking, fill in your website URL.
  • Social media blocks fill in as icons on your listing but aren’t required.  If you don’t have any we recommend at least starting an Instagram — it’s free marketing!
  • You do not need to complete your listing in one session. As long as you hit Save on each tab the information will be there when you log back in

Ownership

Owner Information

Helpful Hints

  • Mark your preference for text, call or email.
  • Phone numbers are text fields so you can identify which one is a cell phone (c)

Location

Farm Location

Helpful Hints

  • Farm address — not mailing address
  • Use this link to find the latitude and longitude of your farm: https://www.latlong.net/
  • Lat/Long put you on our map on the site so it’s important!

Photos

Photos

Photos must be less than 15 MB in size. Optimal dimensions: 1200 pixels wide by 800 pixels high. The first photo will be used for farm cover image. Only hit the “Save & Continue” button once. Large or multiple files may take a couple minutes to upload, so please be patient. You will be directed onto the next step of the form (“Accomodations”) once photos have saved and uploaded.

Add Photo

Helpful Hints

  • 12 photos for Basic
  • 24 for Enhanced
  • Try to limit the size of your photos or they will take a long time to load. If your photos are too big, you can use www.tinyjpg.com to resize them without losing any quality OR just send them to info@farmstayus.com through wetransfer
  • Upload ONE photo at a time and hit Save (if  you get a message “your member i.d. is invalid”, you have timed out and not saved your photo(s).
  • Your photo has been uploaded when the program automatically advances to the Accommodations page. Navigate back to Photos by clicking on Photo tab and add your next photo.
  • You will only see the file names of your uploaded photos, but don’t worry. Once you log out and back in again you should see the photos as actual thumbnails.
  • First photo entered will be your banner photo. It must be horizontal! (Best size: 1200 x 800.)  Look at a sample farm to see how it crops and where the info blocks show up over the photo.
  • You can move photos around. They will appear in order top to bottom. Grab the photo number from the left sidebar and drag it up or down, then drop it in place.
  • The captions won’t show up under photo but enter a short description anyway. We are putting Alt tags on your photos from the back end for SEO.
  • If you wish to delete a photo, look for the (-) symbol on the right of the photo and click on it. It will ask you to confirm you want to still delete the photo.

Helpful Hints

  • Each Accommodation is a separate unit, e.g. cabin, room, or tent.
  • Include all accommodations available to guests including campsites and RV parking so total capacity is correct.
  • You can change order of accommodations by grabbing the number on the left of the field and dragging and dropping it to a new location. You can only drag up and only one space at a time.
  • Accommodation Special Instructions box is best for description, e.g. queen bed, private bath, separate entrance, etc.
  • Rates are required. Click ‘Add Rate’ button for pricing.
  • You can put in as many rates as you wish for an Accommodation, e.g. seasonal, weekend, weekday, etc. Use consistent descriptions: Single/Double Occupancy, Per Night, Per Week, High Season – Double Occupancy.
  • Dollars can be with or without cents. Use date format shown.
  • You can use the Rate Special Instructions box for details, e.g. Additional Person $15,  2 night minimum, lodging tax not included in rate.
  • If you add a line for rate or accommodation by accident you can delete it. There are + and – signs on the right side. Hit the (-) sign and it will ask if you are sure. Click that and your extra item will be deleted. Same for adding. This will allow you to Save.
  • If at any point on any tab you get a message that says “your member i.d. is invalid”, you have timed out and will be unable to save the information entered on that page! Take a screenshot and either start over or send to us so we can enter the information for you.
