Software for egg farms

Lay rates by flock, dozens promised to share members, stops on the delivery route and a cooler that never quite matches the spreadsheet. We set up the records, shares and ordering that keep an egg farm selling every dozen.

Where egg farms start

  • Farm records

    Lay rate by flock, not by guess

    Daily collection logged from a phone by flock and house, so you see a drop in lay before it shows up in orders.

    • Eggs collected per flock per day
    • Feed and flock notes in one place
    • Lay rate week over week
    Farm management and records

  • Egg shares

    Egg shares that renew and pause on their own

    Members pick a pickup spot and a size, pay up front or monthly, and skip a week without texting you.

    • Weekly or every-other-week shares
    • Skips and holds handled by members
    • Card on file renewals
    CSA and subscriptions

  • Delivery

    One route for shares, stores and cafes

    Home deliveries, store drops and cafe orders on one route with delivery windows, so the van leaves once.

    • Stops ordered by route
    • Delivery windows sent to customers
    • Store and cafe orders on the same run
    Local delivery and routing

  • Farm stand and market

    An honor box that keeps count

    Tap to pay at the stand and the market, with every dozen sold coming off the same count as your shares.

    • Card payments at an unstaffed stand
    • Market sales in the same books
    • One egg count across every channel
    Farmers market and point of sale

How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • You sell eggs through shares, a stand and a few stores
  • Share members text you to skip weeks
  • Your egg count lives on a whiteboard in the egg room

Questions

What software do small egg farms use?

Most run a farm store or share tool such as Local Line, Barn2Door or GrownBy, a card reader such as Square at the stand, and a spreadsheet for flock records. We connect them so one egg count drives every channel.

Can I sell eggs online?

Most small egg farms sell online for local pickup or delivery rather than shipping. Rules on grading, labeling and refrigeration vary by state, so check with your state department of agriculture before selling off the farm.

How do egg shares work?

Members pay ahead for a set number of dozens each week or every other week and pick up at the farm or a drop site. Share software handles payments, skips and pickup lists.

Can my farm show up on Madeline's?

Madeline's maps independent farms, CSAs and farmers markets on its makers map, and lists makers that ship on the marketplace.
