Vegetable Box Scheme Toolkit
Selling vegetable boxes is a great way to secure upfront cash for your farm, but managing a long customer list and matching your weekly harvest to every box can quickly become a headache. This toolkit brings your entire box scheme into one organized place.
Built for vegetable box farmers who want to spend less time on paperwork and more time in the field.
Selling vegetable boxes is a great way to secure upfront cash for your farm, but managing a long customer list and matching your weekly harvest to every box can quickly become a headache. If your numbers are off, you either leave food rotting in the field or end up shortchanging a customer who already paid you.
This simple spreadsheet brings your entire box scheme into one organized place. It tracks who has paid, who still owes money, and tells you exactly how to divide your weekly harvest so every box is full and no crop is wasted. It takes the stress out of managing customers so you can focus on growing.
