Signups, skips, pickup sites and the renewal campaign, run from your phone. Built with the CSA farmers who use it every week.
I was aligning my work to my spreadsheet — limiting the number of memberships and pickup locations based on what it could handle.
Everyone gets the same box, packed off one harvest list and sent out on routes or to pickup sites. The weekly puzzle is the pack count, the routes and the pickup sites. That's the farmer's-choice CSA.
Members build their box from what's in the field this week, or add eggs, bread and flowers to a set share. One pack list either way. That's the choice CSA.
A three-step signup on your brand, built for phones. Members skip and hold their own weeks. Renewals go out as one campaign, with share settings carried forward.

Carolyn Givens · Something Good OrganicsWatchMelanie's renewals were a slow, manual process. Now they go out as one campaign: early-bird pricing, a turkey raffle for members who renew early, and signs at every pickup site. Over $40,000 was committed in the first two weeks.

Winter Is a Pause, Not a CancellationHowling Fresh Farm runs its CSA year-round, with a winter blackout instead of an end date. Ryan Reece explains why members get paused instead of cancelled, and what that's done for revenue and retention.

Pickup Sites Don't Fill ThemselvesAliza Pickering grew her membership 8% in one month, almost half from a single new workplace pickup site. Here's the lesson that cost her a season to learn.

The Season Start Isn’t a Signup DeadlineLaci at Tagge’s Famous Fruit & Veggie Farms finished her first season on Farmhand with 1,500 members. The decision that got her there is one most farms make by default.

Most farms are migrated and live inside two weeks, in the middle of a season if that's when you need it.
