Still have questions? We have answers. 




Cater to your community! GrownBy is thrilled to introduce fully customizable CSA boxes and shares, with more features on the way.


Are you a farmer looking for CSA management software that will support your sales without adding more work to your to-do list? 


The local food hub Harvie will sunset their CSA services at the end of 2024, and with their departure from the CSA management space, many farms are looking for a reliable alternative to continue offering customizable farm shares and subscriptions without interruption.


We have long admired Simon Huntley's work and contributions to building a resilient local food system through Harvie, and, for many years, we worked not in competition, but in collaboration to bring more local food to more families across the country. 


GrownBy is excited to step up to the plate and serve this need with a new customizable shares feature available in beta.*


*Please note that GrownBy's CSA customization features are in beta mode, and the information provided is an overview of our current customization features. We are continaully improving and expanding these features.



AI-Enabled CSA Customization Features in Beta Mode 

GrownBy has always supported flexible CSA models to complement traditional farm shares and subscriptions. From offering a spend-down credit system, to free-choice shares, to vacation weeks, and more, we’ve always prioritized flexibility and transparency for our farmers. 


We have been working in partnership with the Harvie team and GrownBy farmers to expand and improve these customization features, and are quickly advancing toward a release that will feature AI-enabled CSA share selection and recommendations for customers. 


This exciting development will empower GrownBy farmers to offer highly curated options based on customer preferences, past orders, and real-time inventory availability, making every box the perfect fit.


Many farmers are already selling custom shares on GrownBy, and their customers are customizing! Harvie farmers have recommend GrownBy as a CSA management software alternative, and we've already helped a number of Harvie farmers make the switch to GrownBy.
