The CSAware Difference
Your customers, your data, your brand — always.
We work behind the scenes running your systems and never insert ourselves between you and your members. CSAware is white-label by default, your data is yours and downloadable, and every account gets a real person on the other end of the phone.
- Independent. CSAware is owned by LocalHarvest, not venture investors or a food logistics conglomerate. We succeed when independent farms keep their customers, data, brand, and pricing power.
- Built for the way you actually farm. Many of our features were proposed by our customers, including custom boxes, bi-weekly drops, cash accounts, coupons, and meats sold by the pound.
- Marketing built in. CSAware listings get priority placement in the LocalHarvest directory, used by over 20,000 daily visitors searching for local food.
What our farmers say
Some of the family farms running their CSA on CSAware.
I love the CSAware/LocalHarvest team. They are in complete service to their farmers — responsive, considerate, and timely. They have always put the farms first.
LocalHarvest has been the backbone of our marketing since 2009, CSAware since 2021 — no other source brings in members of the same quality. And I spend about half the time on customer issues I used to.
We have been using CSAware for 14 years now and love it. It keeps getting better every year, and the customer support is amazing.
