Prepared by Farmhand for Bree and Ben

From 75 founding membersto 1,600.

Ten years of 15% growth, a flat 2026, and two new high tunnels ready to carry the CSA into winter. Here's how Farmhand would run Rootbound at 1,600 members across all 25 sites, with every member renewing instead of signing up again.

A Rootbound Farm harvest laid out on the table: cabbage, radishes, sweet corn, greens and eggs

1,600 is 24 more families at each site

Rootbound grew about 15% a year for ten years, then held near 1,000 members in 2026. The next 600 come from workplace sites like Baptist Health and Schneider Electric, a winter share from the new tunnels, home delivery for families no site reaches, and members who bring their friends.

Every member renews. Nobody signs up again.

Shares and prices change every year, so every winter 1,000 members register from scratch. On Farmhand they renew onto 2027 shares and prices from one email, keeping their site and their credits.

The farm dinner sold out in 36 hours

Chef Bruce Ucán's Mayan Cafe dinner with West End Gin filled the barn in a day and a half, with more people wanting in than the barn could hold. On Farmhand Events the next one sells by the seat, the overflow lands on a waitlist, and every guest who isn't a member yet joins your list before 2027 sign-ups.

“We've made our business match that platform.”What you told Ari about eight years on Farmigo

We move your members, shares, credits and all 25 sites, run it beside Farmigo while you check it, and switch before 2027 renewals. Members get one email from you with how to log in.
