Farmer Testimonials
" 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! "

Download the AppCapture Leads and Build Your Email Marketing List
Your market customers shouldn’t disappear after they walk away. When a shopper chooses to receive a digital receipt through Locally Grown’s farm POS app, their purchase automatically links back to your farm profile. If they opt in to share their email, they’re added to your Locally Grown contact list — letting you send CSA sign-ups, restock announcements, or weekly farm updates in seconds.
That means every in-person sale can help grow your online audience. There’s no manual data entry, spreadsheets, or extra tools required. Over time, these connections turn one-time shoppers into loyal customers who return for weekly orders and share your farm with friends. The more you sell, the faster your community grows — helping you stay connected to the people who love your food.
No Special Card Readers Needed
Forget dongles, wires, and expensive hardware. With Apple’s Tap to Pay, your iPhone becomes a full point-of-sale system. Customers can tap their card, phone, or watch directly on your screen, and the transaction is done. It’s the easiest way to accept payments at farmers markets, pop-ups, and farm stands — especially when you’re on the move.
Locally Grown is the only free POS for the farmers market that requires no extra gear. If you prefer, you can also type in a card number or use your camera to scan it. No separate accounts, contracts, or devices — just your phone and your products.

What Is a Farmers Market POS?

Is This Really the Best POS for the Farmers Market If I Don't Buy a Card Reader?
Yes. Our POS for farmers market checkout uses Apple's Tap to Pay (powered by Stripe) so you accept contactless cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and watches right on your phone—no Square or Shopify reader required.
