Why family farms choose CSAware

Practical software and real human support for the way your farm actually runs — CSA, wholesale, and everything in between.

Online Ordering

Members can join, manage subscriptions, buy add-ons, and customize boxes from any device. Accept credit card, eCheck, PayPal, paper checks, and online EBT / SNAP.

Membership Management

See outstanding balances, drop sites at capacity, and weekly add-on demand at a glance. All your member, order, and delivery data is yours and downloadable any time.

Delivery Scheduling

Move eggs to next week, reschedule a box, place a subscription on hold. Get harvest numbers, plan routes, and print labels and sign-in sheets with one click.

Financial Reporting

Track deliveries, revenue, balances, and sales trends with exportable reports your bookkeeper can use immediately.

Offer fixed shares or let subscribers customize. BoxBot builds individualized boxes from your harvest counts, target goals, and each member’s preferences — in seconds.

Approved buyers shop your wholesale catalog and place purchase orders, while your team manages buyer terms, availability, invoices, balances, and ACH payments.

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.
John Peterson
Angelic Organics, Caledonia, IL
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.
Patricia Gladney-Heatherington
Farmers Fresh CSA, Carrollton, GA
We have been using CSAware for 14 years now and love it. It keeps getting better every year, and the customer support is amazing.

Pricing

Fair, transparent, scales with you.

Pay only when your farm is actually delivering. No setup fees, no per-member upcharges, no hidden fees.

Affordable

2% of your delivery revenue, with a $100/month minimum. Charged only in months you’re delivering.

Scalable

Volume discounts kick in as you grow, with fees as low as 1% on deliveries over a set threshold.

Wholesale-friendly

Wholesale revenue is also 2%, but capped at $500/month. Built for thin wholesale margins.

Example: a CSA delivering $10,000/month pays $200/month. A CSA delivering $100,000/month pays $1,875 with volume pricing. Add $30,000/month in wholesale and that’s a flat + $500/mo (cap), regardless of how high wholesale volume scales.

Estimate your CSAware fee
