PlotsFarm for urban micro-farms

Under 1 acre

Twelve beds behind a church, a rooftop with 30-inch boxes, and a neighborhood that buys by the bag. On a lot this size every bed turn counts, and the plan, the harvest, and the sale happen within the same hundred feet. PlotsFarm maps the beds you have, packs two crops into one, and sells the bag from a page you can put in a bio, on one login.

What it fixes for urban micro-farms

The problem

Twelve beds and a rooftop. Every bed turn is a week of income, and a planner built for 30-inch beds tells you three rows fit where you know four do.

What PlotsFarm does

Rows from your real bed width

PlotsFarm works from your bed width and the crop's spacing, so a 48-inch box and a 30-inch bed plant differently, with a warning when a bed is packed too dense. Interplant two crops in one bed with their own dates: radishes on the outer rows out in four weeks, lettuce in the middle still going. The Gantt by bed shows every turn, and an empty bed shows as white space.

The problem

There is no office. The laptop is at home, the beds are behind the church, and whatever you meant to write down is gone by the time you get back to it.

What PlotsFarm does

The phone is the office

The iPhone app shows today's tasks sorted by where you stand, logs a harvest at the bed, takes a photo observation, and files a Pest scouts entry pre-filled with the last bed and pest. Scan the QR code on a bed's stake to land on it. Photos and voice notes upload in the background when signal drops, and the morning summary and frost watch arrive as pushes.

The problem

The neighborhood buys by the bag and pays however it pays. Building a web store for twenty salad bags a week is a weekend you do not have.

What PlotsFarm does

One link for your bio

Your farm page carries your logo, an about page with your address, and the week's bags with a Thursday cutoff and a Saturday pickup at the gate. Neighbors order from the link in your bio and pay by card without an account. Products are bound to harvest lots, so the page never sells more salad than the cooler holds, and the pickup list waits on your phone.

Crop planning

Every inch of bed, planned

PlotsFarm works from your bed width and the crop's spacing, so a 48-inch box and a 30-inch bed plant differently. Interplant two crops in one bed with their own dates. The Staggered layout plans lettuce every two weeks through the season, and rotation history warns before the same family lands twice.

Draw the lot once

Outline your field on the satellite map, set the bed count, length, width, and numbering direction, and every planting hangs off a real bed with real dimensions. Hoophouses and the shed live on the map too. Print a QR sheet and stake one per bed. One field with twelve beds is a complete farm here.

The whole farm fits in your pocket

When the office is a bench by the gate, the phone is the office. The iPhone app shows today's tasks sorted by where you stand, logs harvests at the bed, takes a photo observation, and files a Pest scouts entry pre-filled with the last bed and pest. Uploads finish in the background. The morning summary and frost watch arrive as pushes you choose.

Sell to the block from one page

Your farm page carries your logo, accent color, a short about, and your contact details, with the week's products and any share you offer. Set an order window so you harvest to orders, and bind products to lots so the count is honest. Buyers pay by card, no account needed, and the pickup list waits on your phone Saturday morning.

Start on the free tier

Free is a plan, not a trial. Plan the season, work the task list, log harvests, run a CSA and an online store, and take payments, with no subscription and no card. Selling carries a per-transaction fee; the numbers are on the pricing page.
