Free Soil
Free Soil is a village in northern Mason County in west-central Michigan's farm-and-forest country near the Manistee National Forest, a small community with a Main Street, surrounding farms and woods, and a base of farms, contractors, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Free Soil area's farms, contractors, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Free Soil operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
