This example shows how AI saves time without changing your voice.

This is your source content.

Review and lightly edit.

Wednesday: Schedule or Post

  • Post to Facebook

Common AI Mistakes Markets Make

And how to avoid them

These come up often — especially with well-intentioned teams.

❌ Mistake 1: Asking AI to “just write something”

Why it’s a problem:
Generic, bland, or inaccurate content.

Fix:
Always start with real notes, a post, or an outline.

❌ Mistake 2: Not fact-checking

Why it’s a problem:
Wrong dates, times, vendor names, or program details damage trust.

Fix:
Use AI for wording — not facts. Always verify details.

❌ Mistake 3: Over-polishing

Why it’s a problem:
Content starts to sound corporate instead of community-based.

Fix:
Edit for warmth. Add local details. Keep it human.

❌ Mistake 4: Speaking for vendors or programs

Why it’s a problem:
Misrepresentation or loss of trust.

Fix:
Use vendor-provided info. Avoid invented quotes or stories.

❌ Mistake 5: Using AI to replace engagement

Why it’s a problem:
AI can’t respond with empathy or context.

Fix:
Use AI for drafting. Handle comments and messages yourself.

❌ Mistake 6: Forgetting the mission

Why it’s a problem:
Content becomes transactional instead of relational.

Fix:
Ask: Does this reflect community, warmth, and belonging?

Final Perspective

AI should make your marketing:

  • easier
  • steadier
  • more consistent

It should never make it:

  • colder
  • less personal
  • less honest

Used thoughtfully, AI helps farmers markets show up fully without burning out.

You’re still doing the work that matters.
AI just helps you do it in more places, with less stress.
