" The Locally Grown app has provided a platform for a veteran war colleague of mine to promote his personally owned farm. Not only is he able to reach the public and provide high-quality organic food, but this app has allowed myself and others who served with him to buy his products and stay connected on a whole other level! Thank you Locally Grown and thank you County Village Farms in Whiteville NC! "

" I was so excited to download this app as a consumer having moved to a new state but no listings are anywhere close to us. I don’t know if our local farmers just don’t know about the app yet or if the creators only allow certain geographical areas. It seems like an awesome app, I just wish it showed farms near me! "

" We travel around the country and I love the fact that I can search this app by location and we are rarely without farm fresh eggs and milk. This has become my favorite app for finding all things fresh! Next stop TX but the area seems to be a little short on finding anything other than meat (which we love too). Calling all those dairy farms in TX to sign up so I can buy fresh milk for my daily homemade Greek yogurt! "

Launch In Minutes

Setting up e-commerce for farmers shouldn’t require a tech degree. With Locally Grown, it’s as easy as downloading the app, adding your products, and publishing your store. The entire process takes about 20 minutes on average, and once you’re live, customers can start ordering immediately. We designed every step for simplicity: automatic checkout setup, real-time inventory tracking, and built-in payment processing so you can focus on farming, not managing software. Many farmers tell us they had their first online orders the very same day they joined.

Payments on Locally Grown are powered by Stripe, one of the most trusted payment processors in the world.

With Stripe handling the backend, you can focus on what you do best—growing good food.

FAQs About E-Commerce for Farmers

Selling food online is new for many farmers, so we built Locally Grown to remove every barrier—cost, complexity, and confusion. Farm e-commerce doesn’t need to involve multiple tools or expensive websites. With Locally Grown, you can list products, manage inventory, and accept payments all in one app. It’s the simplest way to sell farm products online, with no subscriptions or technical setup. Our farmer community spans every kind of operation—from small vegetable growers to multi-acre meat producers—and every one of them started by just creating their free store and adding a few products. If you can use a smartphone, you can run an online farm store.

How Much Does It Cost to Use Locally Grown?

Nothing. Creating a store, listing products, and using the app are 100% free. Shoppers pay a 6% service fee at checkout, so you keep every dollar of product revenue.

How Quick Is It to Set Up E-Commerce for Farmers?

Most farms finish onboarding and publish their first product in 15–20 minutes. The moment you tap "Publish," your store appears in the consumer iOS & Android apps and on LocallyGrown.app.

Do You Take Commision on Each Sale?

No. We never take a percentage of your sales. You receive the full product price; customers cover the service fee.

How Do Payouts Work?

Payments are processed through Stripe. Once an order is placed, the money is deposited to your bank account instantly (based on Stripe's standard payout schedule for your region).

Can I Control Pickup and E-Commerce Delivery Options?

Yes. Add any number of pickup points (farm, market, drop-site) and choose whether customers must book a time slot. You can also draw local delivery zones with your own fee and delivery days.

How Does Inventory Management Prevent Overselling?

Enter the quantity available for each item. The app deducts stock with every order and automatically hides out-of-stock products, so you never sell more than you have.

What Types of Farm Products Can I Sell?

Anything you produce—vegetables, fruit, meat cuts, eggs, flowers, prepared foods, CSA boxes, and more. Weight-based pricing is built in.

Do I Need Special Hardware or a Separate Website?

No. Your phone or tablet is enough. We host the storefront, handle payments, and provide a shareable link you can post anywhere.
