Marketing Means More
Description/Organizer:
This lesson will help students understand the
process of marketing and the importance of marketing
Kentucky products in retail stores. Why is marketing
crucial to the sale of Kentucky products?
Background Information:
How many times do you look on the back of your
canned goods or check the stickers of your fresh fruits and
vegetables to see where your groceries were processed or
grown? Do you know where your food comes from? If
you knew there was a high-quality product that was grown
or manufactured in Kentucky, would you buy this product?
There is a growing trend in our country to buy
products that are locally grown or made. Not only does
buying a product that originated locally encourage growth
in our state and local economy, it also often means you are
getting healthier and tastier food! Yet, how many times
have you walked right down the aisle not knowing whether
any of the products you are buying are from our own state?
The purpose of this lesson is to help students
understand the steps taken by entrepreneurs as they market
a product, as well as the benefits for businesses and
consumers alike.
LEVEL: Grades 3 – 5
SUBJECTS: Social Studies
(Economics)

Big Idea: Economics
Primary Enduring Knowledge – Understandings
Students will understand that
• The basic economic problem confronting individuals and groups in our
community today is scarcity; as a result of scarcity economic choices and
decisions must be made.
• A variety of fundamental economic concepts (e.g., supply and demand,
opportunity cost) impact individuals, groups and businesses in the community
today.
• Markets enable buyers and sellers to exchange goods and services.
• Economic institutions are created to help individuals, groups and businesses in the
community accomplish common goals.

Individuals, groups and businesses in the community demonstrate
interdependence as they make economic decisions about the use of resources
(e.g., natural, human, capital) in the production, distribution, and consumption of
goods and services.

Core Content:
SS-EP-3.1.1 - Students will define basic economic terms related to scarcity (e.g.,
opportunity cost, wants and needs, limited productive resources – natural, human,
capital) and explain that scarcity requires people to make economic choices and
incur opportunity costs. DOK 2
SS-04-3.1.1 - Students will describe scarcity and explain how scarcity requires
people in Kentucky to make economic choices (e.g., use of productive resources –
natural, human, capital) and incur opportunity costs. DOK 2
SS-05-3.1.1 - Students will describe scarcity and explain how scarcity required
people in different periods in the U.S. (colonization, expansion, 20th century to
present) to make economic choices (e.g., use of productive resources – natural,
human, capital) and incur opportunity costs. DOK 2
SS-EP-3.4.1 - Students will define basic economic terms related to production,
distribution and consumption (e.g., goods and services, wants and needs, supply and
demand, specialization, entrepreneur) and describe various ways goods and services
are distributed (e.g., by price, first-come-first-served, sharing equally). DOK 2
SS-04-3.4.1 - Students will describe production, distribution and consumption of
goods and services in regions of Kentucky and the U.S. DOK 2

Prepare:
• Bring a jar of Jif peanut butter, Ragu spaghetti sauce and a jar of Five Brothers Alfredo
sauce to display.
• Paper for drawing an illustration for every two students.
• Students will need pencils, crayons, and/or markers.
• Poster board for groups of students to create advertisement signs.
• Copy of the open response questions (page 11) for each student. (Rubric is on page 9.)
•
Essential Questions:
1.
What is special about a Kentucky-grown product?
2.
Why is it a challenge for producers to market Kentucky-grown products?
3.
Will purchasing Kentucky-grown products have an impact on the future of Kentucky
agriculture and why?
Teach:
SESSION 1. WHAT IS IN COMMON HERE?
Display a jar of Jif peanut butter, a jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce, and a jar of Five Brothers
Alfredo sauce. (These are only examples; you can use different items.) Ask students to guess
what these three items have in common and what they have to do with today’s lesson. After
accepting several responses, tell students that these products were manufactured/processed in
Kentucky. Jif is manufactured in Lexington, Kentucky and the spaghetti and Alfredo sauces
were made in Owensboro, Kentucky. However, these companies only manufacture/process the
product – they don’t actually obtain the raw ingredients from Kentucky used in the products.
Other Kentucky companies, such as Weisenberger Mills in Midway, Kentucky, and WindStone
Farms in Paris, Kentucky actually grow and purchase the raw ingredients from other Kentucky
growers. They then process those ingredients into their Kentucky product. Weisenberger Mills is
five generations old and one of the oldest family businesses in Kentucky. It has a grain mill that
makes pizza crust mix, muffin mixes, flour, spoonbread mixes and much more. Weisenberger
Mills’ products are in many supermarkets across the state. WindStone Farms sells its jams
nationwide in Wal-Mart and Kroger.
SESSION 2. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Use the “What Would You Do?” scenario (page 8) to guide the next activity. Allow
students to choose partners. Students will work together to create a process for marketing a
value-added product they are making from their dairy farm. Students should create an
illustration or cartoon series to show the steps they would take to market this product. For
3

instance, students should decide the following: what their product is, manufacture and prepare
this product, take this product to business owners to allow them to assess or try the product,
continue this process until businesses agree to sell their product, then advertise their product.
SESSION 3. A SUCCESSFUL KENTUCKY ENTREPRENEUR
Read about Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese together with students (page 10). After reading
the selection, use these questions to compare what they learned about this Kentuckian’s business
strategies.
• How was your strategy similar to Kenny’s strategy?
• What are some steps he took that made him successful?
• What was his opportunity cost to begin his venture into making cheese?
• How has Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese expanded as a result of marketing the product in
retail stores? (It has expanded by 50 percent each year).
SESSION 4. IT’S YOUR TURN!
Have students make a poster or sign to advertise Kentucky-made products. Find a few
supermarkets in your community that are willing to display these posters around the area where
these products are sold. Remind them that this is free advertising right inside their store!
Assessment:
• Use the rubric (page 9) to score posters and signs created in the last activity.
• Use the open response (page 11) to assess student understanding of the concepts covered
in the lesson and the rubrics (pages 9 and 12) to score their answers.
Connect:
• COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS: Take a field trip to the supermarket and have a
scavenger hunt to find all the Kentucky-made products.
• Invite parents in to have a cooking show. Have parents use only products from
Kentucky. Or have students put on a cooking show for parents using Kentucky products.
• Have a “Taste of Kentucky” day at your school and invite area businesses to have a
display. Allow students in your class to sample products that are made from Kentucky
products.
• SOCIAL STUDIES: Have students research to find where products are made in
Kentucky. Next, have students use the Kentucky county map on page 17 to place
symbolic pictures of those products at the location from where they originated.
• WRITING: Have students write a how-to piece using a Kentucky recipe or on making a
craft that is native to Kentucky or uses only Kentucky products.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Pretend you and your partner are the owners of a large dairy farm. Considering the constantly
rising costs of milk production, you decide together that your farm business could grow more if
you were to sell some value-added products. For instance, you may decide to use your milk to
make homemade cheese or ice cream. Work with your partner to decide the best strategy to
make your product successful when you put it on the market. Create an illustration or a cartoon
series showing the steps you and your partner would take in this process.

Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese
As an ambitious young man growing up in Indianapolis, Indiana, Kenny Mattingly
yearned to discover a career in which he could work outdoors. For that reason, when he was 19
and his family bought a 203-acre dairy farm and moved to Glasgow, Kentucky, he felt as though
he was right at home in this brand new setting. Yet, as his father turned the farm over to him in
the early 1990s, he realized he simply could not continue expanding his business as a dairy
farmer with high production costs and falling milk prices.
After a farm tour throughout Europe in 1989, Kenny became captivated with the
possibility of adding value to the high-quality milk he was already producing on his farm. As he
contemplated the idea of making cheese, he attended conferences held by the University of
Kentucky and the Department of Agriculture. These seminars not only helped Kenny learn how
to market his new product, it gave him the opportunity and cost share to showcase his upcoming
product at several future events.
Realizing there would be a great opportunity cost if he decided to buy the equipment
necessary to make a new product on his farm, he utilized the help of many family members as
they built and equipped his new cheese business. After many hours of free labor and
approximately $70,000, he was now ready to manufacture his first variety of cheese. Knowing
that living within close proximity to the consumer makes a product tastier and healthier, he
decided to market his cheese to a few gourmet and upscale stores within the state.
Once he learned about the process of marketing, he and his mother, Mary Rose
Mattingly, personally met with store owners and managers to let them try the cheese. As they
discussed their product, they described their method of manufacturing cheese on their family
farm and explained how exceptional their cheese was. Next, they had to wait very patiently, up
to five years.
Since officially starting in 1998, the business has had great success as a result of a strong
basis of sales through retail stores such as Whole Foods and Wild Oats. Mattingly’s business has
been featured in major newspapers such as The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, and
also the National Public Radio series Kentucky Works. As it has grown at a rate of 50 percent
per year each year, the Mattinglys not only are looking at new varieties of cheese to sell, they
also are expanding their marketing strategies. In addition, they soon will upgrade their facilities.
As you can see, marketing a product into retail stores is not a process that will happen
overnight, but with patience and a first-rate product, Kentucky entrepreneurs are able to build a
legacy through the example of their own farms. In addition, the success of sales through retail
stores not only stimulates and strengthens our state economy; the Mattinglys’ impressive
achievement enhances the impressions people have of our beloved state of Kentucky. For
instance, when visitors ate 3,000 pounds of Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese at the Kentucky Derby
and master chef Emeril Lagasse used the same product as an ingredient in a recipe, Kentucky’s
heritage stood strong and proud. Certainly Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese is one product that
makes us Kentucky Proud!
