FOR INDEPENDENT FARMS

Make Your Farm Easier to Find

The Farm Ledger is being built to help nearby families see what local farms have available each week, then send them directly to the farm to buy.

Your farm. Your prices. Your customers.

THE FARMER IS ALREADY DOING ENOUGH

Farming Shouldn't Require a Second Job in Marketing

There are already plenty of ways to keep customers informed. Facebook. Your website. Farmers markets. Email. Roadside signs. Instagram. Word of mouth.

They can all work.

But keeping everything updated takes time, and farming already comes with enough work of its own.

Bringing Local Discovery Together

Farm Allegiance doesn't replace what already works. It helps bring local discovery together.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF FARM DISCOVERY

One Weekly Place for What's Happening With Local Food

The Farm Ledger is designed to bring timely information from independent farms into one local weekly guide, so nearby families can see what is available and know where to go next.

HOW IT WORKS

A Simple Way to Share What's Happening at Your Farm

01

Tell Us About Your Farm

Share your farm identity, location and what you produce.

02

Share What You Want Families to Know

Availability, farm stand hours, specials, markets, events, CSA openings or seasonal products.

03

We Put It Into the Local Farm Ledger

Relevant updates can appear in the weekly edition serving families around your area.

04

The Family Comes to You

They visit your website, farm store, preorder page, market or whatever buying method your farm already uses.

We Help With Discovery. You Keep the Sale.

Independent by design

We Aren't Building Another Marketplace Between You and Your Customer

Farm Allegiance is designed around discovery. Families find the farm through The Farm Ledger, then continue directly to the farm's existing buying process.

YOU DECIDE WHAT TO SHARE

Share What You Want, When You Want

Not every farm needs promotion every week. Farm Allegiance should help when there is something you want local families to know about.

Need to fill CSA spots?
Share it with The Ledger.
Extra eggs this week?
Share it with The Ledger.
Beef processing date coming up?
Share it with The Ledger.
U-pick opening Saturday?

Already sold out?
Nothing to promote.
MORE THAN A PRODUCT LIST

Families Can See the Farm Behind the Food.

Availability tells someone what they can buy. A little context helps them understand who they are buying it from.

QUESTIONS FROM FARMERS

Before You Join the Founding
Farm List

Does joining the Founding Farm list cost anything?

+

There is no cost to join the Founding Farm interest list. Joining simply tells Farm Allegiance that your farm is interested in hearing from us as we build local Farm Ledger communities.

Does Farm Allegiance sell my products?

+

The Farm Ledger is being designed around discovery rather than replacing the farm's existing sales process. Families can discover what you have available and then go directly to your farm's preferred way to buy.

Who sets my prices?

+

You do. Your farm remains responsible for its own pricing, availability and sales process.

Who handles the customer transaction?

+

The farm does. Farm Allegiance is not being built to take over the direct relationship between the farm and customer.

Do I need a website?

+

Not necessarily. Farms sell in different ways, including farm stands, farmers markets, preorder systems, online stores and direct contact. The goal is to point families toward the buying method that works for your farm.

Do I have to submit something every week?

+

No. The Farm Ledger may be published weekly, but that does not mean every farm needs something to promote every week. Share information when there is something useful for nearby families to know.

What happens if something sells out?

+

Availability changes quickly in local agriculture. The Farm Ledger is being designed around timely updates so farms can communicate what is currently worth knowing about.

Can I share CSA openings, U-pick dates, farm events or farmers market appearances?

+

Yes. The Farm Ledger is intended to include more than individual products. Relevant farm availability, CSA openings, farm stands, markets, U-pick opportunities, seasonal specials and events can all help families understand what is happening locally.

Can livestock farms participate if we don't have products available every week?

+

Yes. Weekly publication does not mean weekly inventory is required. A livestock farm might have bundles, processing availability, pickup dates or other timely information only periodically.

Does Farm Allegiance replace my Facebook page or website?

+

No. Your existing channels remain yours. The Farm Ledger is designed to create an additional discovery path that can point families toward the places you already use.

How will farms be verified?

+

Farm Allegiance is still developing the verification process. We will explain the standards clearly before presenting participation as verified.

When will my area launch?

+

Farm Allegiance is being built community by community. Joining the Founding Farm list helps us understand where farmer interest exists and gives us a way to contact you as expansion reaches your area.
