Where vegetable farms start

  • CSA and subscriptions

    A CSA that runs without a spreadsheet

    Sign-ups, prepay, skips, swaps, pickup sites and box reminders in one tool, with the pack list built from the week's shares.

    • Shares, add-ons and waitlists
    • Skips and swaps with a cutoff
    • Pack list per pickup site
    CSA and subscriptions

  • Farm management

    Crop plans that become a harvest list

    Successions planned from the date you want to harvest, and a pick list that covers CSA, market and wholesale orders.

    • Succession and planting schedule
    • Harvest list from all orders
    • Yield next to sales by crop
    Farm management and records

  • Delivery

    One route for boxes and restaurant drops

    Home delivery, restaurant drops and pickup sites in one planned route, with a text when the box is on its way.

    • Delivery zones and days
    • Route built from the orders
    • Delivered texts with a photo
    Local delivery and routes

  • Market POS

    Know which market is worth the drive

    A register that works offline in a field, counts produce out and back, and takes SNAP where you are authorized.

    • Offline card payments
    • Sales per hour by market
    • SNAP and EBT where authorized
    Farmers market and POS

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 run a CSA on a spreadsheet and Venmo
  • You harvest from memory for three sales channels
  • Delivery day is planned on paper the night before

Questions

What is the best CSA software for a small farm?

It depends on whether members customize their boxes, how they pay and whether you deliver. Harvie, CSAware, Local Line and Barn2Door each fit a different kind of program; our guide to CSA software compares them.

How do I plan one harvest for CSA, market and wholesale?

Pull share counts, wholesale orders and your market estimate into one harvest list per pick day. Farm management tools such as Tend do this once your crops and orders are connected.

Does the FSMA Produce Safety Rule apply to my farm?

It depends on your produce sales and what you grow. Very small farms may be exempt or qualify for modified requirements. Records of water testing, worker training and harvest help either way.

Can I sell on Madeline's as a vegetable farm?

Madeline's sells goods that ship, such as preserves, honey, seeds and dried goods. If your farm makes any of those, see Sell on Madeline's.
