What sets us apart.

We’ve worked with CSAs for more than 25 years: first through the LocalHarvest directory, and through CSAware for the last 15. You are still the experts. Many CSAware features came directly from farms, including custom boxes, bi-weekly-only drop sites, coupons, cash accounts, and meats sold by the pound.

We believe the software should fit the way you do business, rather than you having to change your business to fit the software. To that end, we say “yes” as often as possible — and when we can’t, we help you find a workaround that really works.

Your customers are yours, your data is yours, and your brand is never diluted. CSAware helps independent farms keep direct relationships with the people they feed, instead of turning farms into interchangeable suppliers for someone else’s marketplace.

We work in the background running your systems, and will never insert ourselves as the brand, broker, or middleman between you and your customers.

We work hard to make CSAware as user-friendly as possible so you can run your business independently. We know you don’t want to sit around and wait for us to update things for you. We’re always here to help, but you get to drive.

Along with that, we firmly believe that your customers and data are yours. Built into CSAware are a variety of ways you can download your members’ contact info, order histories, and all of your financial data.

Oh, and “you drive” also means you can take CSAware with you. CSAware works great on mobile devices.

CSAware exists to help local food businesses stay strong. Since 1999, that has been our work: practical tools, steady support, and a long-term commitment to farms selling under their own name.
