For growers
Run a farm, from seed to pickup.
A farm is a grower’s workspace: trays, pots, labels, a store and pickup windows. Plan on the website; log in the field on your phone.
- Web
Seed inventory
Every seed packet in one place.
Build your farm's seed list from a shared, curated catalog of varieties. Search hundreds of seed lots, filter by category or seed source, and remember what worked when next season rolls around.
- ✓Varieties come from a shared plant catalog, so names stay consistent
- ✓Filter by category, seed source, or season
- ✓Track seed year, quantity on hand, and vendor at a glance
Tray planner
Plan your trays before you sow.
Lay out a seed tray visually before you put a single seed in soil. Assign varieties to cells, mix multiple plants in one tray, and print a labeled diagram you can take out to the greenhouse.
- ✓Visual color-coded cell layout per tray
- ✓Mix multiple varieties in a single tray with a clear legend
- ✓Track tray size, growing medium, and cell count in one place
Germination tracking
Watch them sprout, week by week.
Track germination rates across every tray and every variety. See which seed lots are strong and which need a second chance, this season and against past ones.
- ✓One line per tray and variety over time
- ✓Compare against previous seasons
- ✓Spot germination problems early so you can replant in time
Outcome flow
See where every seed ends up.
A sankey diagram traces every cell from sowing to its final destination: germinated, potted, planted in your garden, given to a neighbor, or lost along the way.
- ✓Visual outcome breakdown per tray
- ✓Tracks germinated → potted → garden, given away, finished, or lost
- ✓Makes it obvious which varieties are worth re-growing
Season analytics
Zoom out to the whole season.
Follow the season as a funnel, from sown to germinated to potted to planted out, and see where plants dropped off. Compare seasons year over year and tune what you grow.
- ✓Lifecycle funnel with drop-offs at every stage
- ✓Germination, loss analysis, and harvest by seed packet
- ✓Season-over-season comparison, with seasons set per farm
