How to Start a CSA with Locally Grown
Five simple steps to launch your CSA or subscription program — no CSA management software experience required.
Create a Free Account
Sign up in minutes on the web or in the Locally Grown for Farmers app. Your farm store and subscription dashboard go live immediately — no website, no coding required.
Create Your First Subscription
Name your plan, set the price and billing interval (weekly or monthly), add any startup fee, and optionally cap enrollment. Veggie box, herd share, flower bundle — add as many as your harvest supports.
Customers Subscribe on Your Profile
Subscribers sign up right on your Locally Grown profile on iOS, Android, or the web. You'll be notified every time a new subscription is started, so you always know who's joining.
Customers Are Charged Automatically
Each subscriber's card is charged on a weekly or monthly recurring basis. Payouts go straight to your bank — often within 1–2 business days — with no invoicing or manual tracking.
Manage Your Customers in Your Dashboard
See your full subscriber list, next billing dates, and active vs. cancelled members at a glance. Cancel, pause, or message customers — all from one dashboard on your phone or the web.
The free CSA management software — and the only one you run from your phone.
Other CSA platforms charge monthly fees or take a cut of every box. Locally Grown is free, and it's the only one that lets you manage subscribers and message your whole customer list right from the mobile app.
Locally Grown compared to
Know Exactly Who's In Your Program
Every subscription plan shows a live count of active subscribers so you always know how many boxes to pack and how much revenue is coming in. Set a maximum cap and the app automatically closes enrollment once you're full — no more awkward conversations about turning customers away. Pause a plan for the off-season, archive it when you're done, or create a new one for next year in a single tap.
Automated Billing That Never Misses
Running a CSA used to mean chasing cash payments and managing Venmo threads. With Locally Grown, billing is completely hands-off. Each subscriber's card is charged on your schedule, Stripe handles all the processing, and failed payments are retried automatically. You can also collect a one-time startup or deposit fee when a customer first subscribes — perfect for season commitments or box deposits.
Run Multiple Subscription Programs at Once
There's no limit to how many subscription plans you can create. Run a weekly vegetable share alongside a bi-weekly egg subscription and a monthly meat box — all from the same account. Each plan has its own pricing, billing interval, description, and subscriber cap. Customers see all your active plans when they visit your store and can sign up for whichever fits their household.

Everything you need to know before launching your CSA or subscription program on Locally Grown. Still have questions? Email us at support@locallygrown.app.
Can I cancel my plan at any time?
Yes. You can pause, cancel, or archive any subscription plan at any time from your dashboard. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. Your subscription plans and subscriber data remain accessible whenever you need them.
What's the commission on subscription sales?
Zero. Locally Grown is completely free for farmers — we never take a commission on your subscription revenue. Customers pay a 3% + 30¢ card processing fee plus a 3% Locally Grown fee at checkout, and your full subscription price is deposited directly to your bank account.
How do customer payments work?
When a customer subscribes, Stripe securely stores their payment method and charges it automatically on your chosen billing interval — weekly or monthly. Funds are deposited directly to your bank account, typically within 1–2 business days of each charge.
Is Locally Grown really free for farmers?
Yes — completely free. There's no signup cost, no monthly fee, and no charge if you don't have any sales. Locally Grown makes money from a small service fee charged to shoppers at checkout, never from you.
What types of subscriptions can I create?
Any kind — weekly veggie boxes, monthly meat shares, bi-weekly egg subscriptions, flower bundles, dairy shares, honey clubs, and more. You can run multiple plans simultaneously with different prices, billing intervals, and subscriber caps.
Can I limit how many subscribers join a plan?
Yes. Each subscription plan has an optional maximum subscriber cap. Once the cap is reached, the plan shows as sold out and new signups are blocked automatically — no manual gate-keeping required.
Can I charge a deposit or startup fee?
Yes. You can add a one-time startup fee charged when a customer first subscribes. This is charged separately from the recurring billing — ideal for season deposits or CSA box commitments.
Who pays the card processing fee?
Customers do. Shoppers pay a 3% + 30¢ card processing fee plus a 3% Locally Grown fee at checkout — farmers are never charged either fee and always get paid their full subscription price.
