Martin’s Ponderosa Farm using GrownBy Register at market
Why GrownBy
We’re not just built for farmers.
We’re owned by farmers.
01
We’re an agricultural cooperative
Farmer-sellers own 90% of Farm Generations; employees own the rest. Farmer members elect the majority of the board.
✓ 10% off every paid plan for members
✓ Equity and profit-sharing dividends
✓ One member, one vote
02
All your sales channels, one platform
Many farm tools cover one or two sales channels. GrownBy helps you sell in all of your sales channels with shared products, inventory, and customers. Offer on-farm pickup, delivery, and shipping, with all the logistics under your control.
✓ Farmer-built POS
✓ Custom CSA matched to your harvest
✓ Invite-only wholesale marketplace
✓ Shopper app and marketplace
03
The best deal for farms
Start free and pay only for what you use, with fees that fund your co‑op instead of investors.
✓ $0 plan (USD or CAD) with unlimited products
✓ SNAP Online at no cost
✓ No co‑op fee on Register sales
✓ The best support team in the business
Every way you sell, with one inventory
We built GrownBy because we were tired of juggling expensive, complicated sales tools ourselves. Every sales channel shares the same product stock and customers.
Online store
Advanced reports, automated packing lists, and customer management. Great for flowers, market pre-orders, hay, and meat.
CSA
Traditional or fully customizable shares, with subscriptions, add-on shares, installments, and unlimited pickup locations and schedules, for farms of any size.
GrownBy vs. a stack of separate tools
GrownBy is built for small farms because small farms built it, and they still own it.

Some of the top farms in North America sell on GrownBy.
Farms sell everything from CSA shares to flowers and meat. Shoppers have a single GrownBy account, making it easy to buy from your farm, and every farm that sells can become a member-owner of the co-op.
