For farmstand growers

Harvest morning to load-out, counted.

Your stock is picked the morning you sell it — pounds, bunches, pints — and some of it wilts, bruises, or rides home unsold. Shrink isn't failure at a farmstand; it's Tuesday. MadeKeeper is built for count-back selling: load out, sell the morning, count what's left, and know what the market actually paid you.

The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.

How MadeKeeper maps to your stand

Harvest as the inventory eventThe morning pick logs in pounds, bunches, and eaches. No barcode fantasy — just what went in the truck, counted the way you count it.

Count-back, not per-transactionBrought 60 lb, came home with 12 — that's 48 sold. MadeKeeper works from load-out and count-back, the way a market table actually runs.

Seconds and shrink are normalThe seconds basket sells at its own price, and the compost bucket logs as the shrink it is. Your yield numbers stay honest without a guilt trip.

Stand, market, and CSAThe roadside stand, the Saturday market, and CSA shares each run their own channel — with booth fees and miles counted against market days.

One market morning, to the penny

Say you pick 60 lb of tomatoes for Saturday:

48 lb sold @ $3.50/lb$168.00
8 lb to the seconds basket @ $1.50/lb$12.00
4 lb shrink$0.00
Table fee−$25.00
18 round-trip miles @ 76¢−$13.68

The morning, after fees and miles$141.32

Against four hours picked-loaded-sold, that's $35.33 an hour — the number that decides whether this market keeps its Saturday next season.

Selling by weight runs on a certified scale, and MadeKeeper keeps the sales records behind it; note that in most states raw produce and your craft-table items are taxed differently — the app keeps them separated so the records stay clean.

Straight about what's live

Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Questions farmstand growers ask

Does MadeKeeper expect me to scan every sale?

No. It's built for count-back: log the load-out, count what came home, and the difference is the morning's sales. Per-item logging is there when you want it, not required.

How is shrink handled?

As a normal part of growing. Unsold and unsellable log as shrink without drama, and your season numbers show true yield — useful when you're deciding what to plant more of.

Can it track CSA shares?

Yes — shares log as their own channel with subscription revenue against the season's costs, separate from stand and market sales.
