A vision of one platform to manage the small-scale farm

Since day one we’ve been focused on helping anyone, anywhere, at any scale grow quality, nutritious food. We started with crop planning and management tools as a foundation, knowing that we’d eventually launch sales tools. When Covid-19 hit we doubled down on launching online sales tools knowing they’d be in immediate benefit to our farmers.

What’s a Tend online store?

Sell direct-to-customers with Tend

Sales tools connected to your crop plan — one login to manage your farm.

Sell to private groups of customers via offer sheets

Set unique prices for different customer groups, email them what you have available, and allow them to pay later.

How is it different from other sales tools?

One login to manage your planning through Sales

You’re already logged into Tend for your planning and management – now you can sell through Tend too.

Integration with a robust Pick & Pack feature

Orders from your customers flow directly into Pick & Pack workflows.
Estimated release: June

Sales based on what you sell – no setup fees

If you’re not selling, you’re not getting charged; pay only when you sell.

One flat rate, increased capabilities

As we continue to build out functionality, you won’t get charged more; our rate is consistent: 2% per transaction.

Designed with a farmer team

Tend has team members throughout the organization who have worked on farms, or own farms.

What are the core features? 

Setup and start selling at lightning speed

Create a product catalog based on your existing crop plan, including crops, varieties, units, and prices.

Set order limits

Avoid overselling by setting a limit on the quantity you have to sell

Set order windows with multiple pick-up or delivery options

Your customers can choose to pick up on farm or at a location you specify, or they can ask to have it delivered.

Transact with Square

Link your Square account to start selling immediately.

Integrate with Pick & Pack 

Orders flow into your pick and pack lists, a seamless integration.
