Ballerina Farm posted a short promotional video on May 26 featuring Frances Neeleman, the 9-year-old daughter of owners Hannah and Daniel Neeleman. In the video, Frances watches as an off-camera adult pours pink electrolyte powder into a glass of water.

The clip was filmed in the family's Utah kitchen and uses ambient sound rather than music. It promotes Farmer Hydrate, the company's electrolyte powder priced at $30 for 25 servings and sold in raspberry lemon, berry, lemon basil lime, and grapefruit ginger flavors.

The Neelemans have increased marketing activity in recent months. In February, Hannah Neeleman announced a pregnancy in an advertisement for the brand's protein powder. The brand's content has previously centered on Hannah Neeleman's videos of daily life on the Utah farm.
