Sales & CSA Management

Whether you sell at a farm stand, run a farmers market booth, or manage a CSA program, CropsBook's Sales & CSA Hub gives you the tools to track every transaction, manage your members, and plan your weekly distributions. Access all these features from More → Sales & CSA.

Farm Stand Sales

The Farm Stand Sales feature is a point-of-sale system built for direct farm sales. Use it at your farm stand, farmers market booth, or roadside stand. It lets you:

• Add the products you're selling with prices per unit or per pound.
• Record each sale transaction quickly — tap the item, enter the quantity, and confirm.
• Track daily, weekly, and seasonal sales totals.
• Log which crops were sold and in what quantities — connecting sales directly back to your harvest records.

Running Farm Stand Sales at the market gives you accurate revenue data per market day. Over a season, you'll see clearly which weeks and which crops are your biggest earners.

CSA Management

If you run a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, the CSA Management feature helps you manage members and shares. Record:

• Member information — name, contact details, and pickup preferences.
• Share types — full share, half share, or custom configurations.
• Season length and payment status — track which members have paid and which are outstanding.
• Start and end dates for the CSA season.

CSA Distributions

Each week, use CSA Distributions to plan what goes in each share box. This screen lets you:

• Build a box plan from what's ready to harvest in your Crops and Harvests data.
• Create packing lists for your team to follow on distribution day.
• Record what was included in each week's box.
• Track quantities needed versus what you have available.

Planning distributions through CropsBook creates a record linking your harvests to your CSA members — useful for calculating the true value of each share and for per-crop profitability analysis.

Connecting Sales to Revenue

Sales recorded in Farm Stand Sales and CSA Distributions flow through to your Revenue tracking (More → Operations → Revenue). This means you have a complete picture of income that connects back to specific crops and harvests.
