Farms and farm stands

Websites for farms and farm stands.

Customers want to know what's ready this week and when the stand is open, and in late winter they come looking for the CSA signup. On Managed + Website you can email us the week's picking list from the field, and it's on the site before the weekend.

What we look after

What a farm website has to do.

Sign up CSA members

CSA shares run through Harvie, Local Line or a form on the site. We link or embed the signup, and if you tell us when it opens, we test it the week before.

Take orders for pickup

Pickup preorders and holiday turkey orders need a form that works and a confirmation that arrives. We set that up, and a full online store is quoted before we build it.

Show what's ready

What's in season changes every week. On Managed + Website, email us the list and we update the page.

Post the stand hours

Stand hours change with the season and sometimes with the weather. We keep them in one place, so changing them once changes them everywhere.

Give directions people can follow

Farms are hard to find from a map pin. We put a map on the visit page along with the kind of directions you would give over the phone.

Send emails that arrive

Pickup reminders and order confirmations come from your domain. We set up its mail records so they reach customers instead of spam.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • CSA signups opened and the form was broken for three days before anyone told us.
  • The website still says the stand is open in December.
  • Order emails land in spam, so customers show up not sure their order went through.
  • We spend the season in the field and nobody has time to update the website.
A note from Ryan

Out in the field all day

Farm sites tend to be fine all winter and then break the week CSA signups open, since that's the first time anyone has touched the form since last year. If you tell me when signups start, I'll run a test signup a week ahead and check that the confirmation email arrives. In summer, send me the harvest list whenever you get a minute and I'll post it.

Is the CSA signup ready for the season?

Send us the address before signups open and we'll test the forms and the order emails, and look at the site on a phone.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. If you use Harvie, Local Line or a similar service, we link or embed the signup. If you'd rather take signups on the site itself, we can set up a form or a WooCommerce product, and anything bigger than a simple form is quoted first.

Yes, at whatever size suits the farm. A preorder form for pickup is a small job, while a full store with inventory and delivery areas is a separate build that we quote first.

That's what Managed + Website is for. We build the new site and host it, and you email us what's ready or the new stand hours from your phone and we change them.

Yes. On Managed, at $50 a month per site, we move it for free and keep it updated, backed up and secure. You go on editing it yourself when you have time.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment

Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
