Common Farm Order Management Problems

💬

Orders at All Hours

Customers text you orders at 9pm, change their mind at 6am, and you're trying to keep it all straight in your head.

📋

Manual Tracking

You're using spreadsheets, notebooks, or scrolling through text threads to figure out who ordered what.

📦

Packing Guesswork

Getting a clean count of what to bring on each delivery route takes way longer than it should.

There's a better way.

Simple Ordering for Your Customers

Your customers get a clean, easy app to place and manage their own orders. No more back-and-forth texts.

Order in Minutes

Customers pick a delivery date, choose their pickup location, select products and quantities, and submit, all in a few taps. No more "hey, can I add a dozen eggs to my Tuesday order?" texts.

  • ✓ Choose delivery date and pickup location
  • ✓ Browse products with prices and quantities
  • ✓ Review order and running total before submitting

Edit Until Cutoff, Then It Locks

Customers can view and change their order right up until your cutoff time. After that, orders lock automatically. No awkward "sorry, too late" conversations.

  • ✓ Automatic cutoff enforcement (you set the time)
  • ✓ Orders lock server-side, no way around it

Reorder in Seconds

Regulars love this one: copy last week's order with one tap and tweak if needed. Full order history so customers always know what they've ordered before.

  • ✓ Copy last week's order to pre-fill
  • ✓ Complete order history with details

Built for Memberships, Not Just Checkouts

Most farm software gives you a store and a customer list. AcreTrail gives you three gates you can turn on independently. Turn none of them on and it works like a normal ordering app.

Approve Who Joins

New signups can wait for your approval instead of walking straight into your catalog. Let people in at the pace your routes can actually handle.

Require a Signed Agreement

Upload your membership agreement and customers sign it in the app before the catalog opens, with an optional one-time fee. The signed copy, date, and document version are kept on file.

Keep Routes Members Only

Group your stops into routes, then mark any route private. It stays invisible to everyone except the customers you approve, which is what a host-home drop needs.

A Dashboard Built for Farmers

Everything you need to manage orders, products, delivery routes, and customers, all in one place.

Delivery Day Summary

See total quantities by product for each delivery date, then drill down by pickup location to see exactly who ordered what. Print it out and take it with you on the route.

Product Management

Add, edit, and update your product catalog anytime. Set prices, units, descriptions, and toggle availability. Seasonal item out of stock? One tap.

Routes & Pickup Locations

Set up your stops with names, descriptions, and addresses, then group them into routes that run on the days you choose. Mark any route private and it stays invisible to everyone except the customers you approve. See how routes work →

Delivery Schedule

Toggle which days of the week are delivery days. Set your order cutoff time (e.g., 5pm the day before) and the app enforces it automatically.

Customer Management & Access

See every customer in one place and control how they get in. New signups can wait for your approval, ordering can require a signed membership agreement, and individual routes can stay members only. Each gate is independent, and you can leave them all off. See membership options →

Adam Nelson, AcreTrail founder, in southwest Washington

Built by a Local Developer
for Local Farms

This app started when a small dairy farm in southwest Washington outgrew text-message ordering. I'm a local software developer and one of their customers. I saw the problem firsthand and built a solution.

Now I'm making it available to other farms running local delivery routes. If you're juggling text orders, spreadsheets, and delivery logistics, this was built for you. If you sign up, you'll talk to me, not a support queue.

Adam is fantastic to work with. He's quick to resolve bugs and build new features, and he always keeps us updated along the way. I really appreciate his transparent communication. If something isn't feasible or will take extra time, he gives us an accurate timeline right away. On top of that, he's forward-thinking and regularly suggests future features before we even realize we need them, giving us plenty of time to weigh our options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AcreTrail?

AcreTrail is an order management app built for local farms that run delivery routes. It replaces text-message ordering with a custom-branded web and mobile app where customers can place and manage their own orders.

How much does AcreTrail cost?

AcreTrail offers three plans: Starter at $9/month (up to 100 customers, 72-hour support response), Standard at $29/month (unlimited customers, custom domain, 48-hour support response), and Pro at $59/month (branded App Store app, analytics, 24-hour support response). All plans include a free 30-day trial with no credit card required. AcreTrail charges $1 flat per standard catalog order, or 2.5% on herd share subscription billing, made-to-order purchases, and monthly invoicing. No fee on cash, check, or Venmo orders. Standard Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30 cards, 0.8% capped at $5 ACH) applies separately.

Does AcreTrail work on mobile?

Yes. AcreTrail works on web browsers, iPhone, and Android. Pro plan customers also get their own branded app in the App Store.

How do my customers place orders?

Customers pick a delivery date, choose a pickup location, select products and quantities, and submit their order. They can edit orders until your cutoff time and reorder from previous weeks with one tap.

Can I accept payments through AcreTrail?

Yes. Online payments via Stripe are included on all plans. Customers can pay at checkout with automatic receipts, and payouts go directly to your bank account. Payments are completely optional. You can keep using cash or Venmo.

How long does setup take?

We set up your custom-branded AcreTrail instance within 24 hours of signing up. You add your products, pickup locations, and delivery schedule, and you're ready to invite customers.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan includes a free 30-day trial with no credit card required. Sign up and we'll have your farm's app ready within 24 hours.

Can I control which customers order from which pickup stop?

Yes. Pickup stops are grouped into delivery routes, and any route can be marked private so only approved members can see it. A private route does not appear at all for customers who are not on it, which is what you want when a stop is at a host home or is limited to share members. Public and private routes run side by side.

Can I require customers to sign a membership agreement before ordering?

Yes. Upload your agreement and customers sign it in the app before the catalog opens to them, with an optional one-time membership fee. AcreTrail stores the signed copy along with the date, the document version, and the signing IP address. Members who already signed on paper can be pre-approved so they do not sign again. This is off by default.
