How can farms sell products online without starting too complicated?

Farms can start selling products online by listing what is available, where the farm serves, and exactly how customers should buy. Neighborly Harvest lets farms begin with a free public farm profile, then upgrade to direct checkout and order tools when online orders are useful.

Direct answer

You do not have to begin with full checkout

Some farms are ready for checkout now. Others just need customers to see products and contact them directly. Neighborly Harvest supports both: free public farm profiles for Starter farms and full order tools for Growth and Preferred farms.

Practical steps

Publish a farm profile and discovery products.
Explain whether customers should call, visit your website, message you, or order through Neighborly Harvest.
Use Growth when you want checkout, pickup orders, farmer delivery, messaging, subscriptions, and order management.
Use Preferred when the 2% platform fee and a larger farmer-delivery radius fit your operation.

Plan fit

Choose how much support your farm needs

The free listing is enough for discovery. Growth and Preferred add operating tools when direct orders become useful.

Starter

Starter is best when you want product visibility without Neighborly Harvest checkout, Stripe, order queue, or delivery tools.

Growth

Growth includes direct checkout, pickup and farmer delivery orders, customer messaging, subscriptions, order queue, route sorting, stop-by-stop delivery workflow, ETA/status notifications, and service cities.

Preferred

Preferred includes Growth with a 2% platform fee, farmer delivery up to 100 miles, conditional route optimization, and Neighborly Harvest Delivery eligibility where approved and supported.
