You already run the event. These farmers are selling tickets to theirs.

Five real farm events, live today. Each was set up by the farmer — dates, tiers, capacity — and published. Click any one and you land on the page their guests see.

$95
Cider press + farm dinner
“Our family tradition of making cider and gathering around the table.”

One seating, one price, one Saturday in October. Priced for what it is — a dinner, not an admission.

Taylor Family Farm
Vancouver, WA

$15
U-pick day
“Stroll the rows, soak up the late-summer sunshine, and harvest your own.”

Sold by the bucket instead of by the head, so checkout and the field math are the same number.

See the event ↗
$6–$24
Weekly pizza night
“Wood-fired pizzas cooked in a handmade earthen oven, served buffet style.”

Three tiers on one checkout — kids $6, adults $18, gluten-free $24 — so a family buys once and the kitchen still gets a real count.

Millsap Farms
Springfield, MO

$100
Class series

$10 a car
Farm celebration
Thirty years of CSA — potluck, cider pressing, tractor tours, live music, a hay fort.

What you get

Everything the fall throws at you, handled.

Timed entry & capacity caps

Sell arrival windows, not just days, with a cap on each one. When a window fills, it closes itself.

Family ticket tiers

Adult, child, under-2-free, a household rate, a season pass — each its own price and cap. Millsap sells three tiers on one checkout; Live Earth sells one pass covering a whole carload. A family buys once and every tier still reports separately.

Rained out? Move the date in one tap.

One tap moves the event to a new date and notifies every ticket holder by text and email. No refund queue, no list to rebuild by hand. On every plan.

Add-ons that lift the average ticket

The wagon ride, the cider donuts, the fire pit, a pumpkin per child on a field trip. Sold at checkout, before anyone gets in the car — and paid for before you make them.

Guest list & QR check-in

Every ticket carries a QR code — scan it at the gate and the line keeps moving. Every buyer's name, email and phone lands on your list, and the list is yours.

Business & Business Pro

The list that carries fall into winter

October builds the list. November through March spends it. Text your buyers about Christmas trees, invite them into the CSA, fill the spring plant sale — from the same place you sold the ticket, templates included.

Business and Business Pro are the two upper plans — they add the email + SMS marketing and customer support marked above. Everything else here — timed entry, ticket tiers, add-ons, QR check-in, one-tap reschedules, your guest list — is on every plan, including the free one. See plans and pricing →

Before you book

Fair questions.

What does it cost — and can I pass the fee to the customer?

Setup is free. Farmhand takes 7% on the tickets you sell, card processing included — nothing on a weekend you don't open. You can absorb it or add it to the ticket price so the guest covers it: on a $20 ticket that's $1.40. Guests pay when they book, straight into your account, so a September pre-sale is September money.

Can I limit how many people show up at once?

Yes — that's timed entry, on every plan. Sell arrival windows as short or long as you like, with a cap on each. When one fills it closes itself, so you stop selling a Saturday you can't park. Cap the day overall too, and keep weekday mornings reserved for school groups so they never collide with the public.

What happens if it rains?

One tap moves the event to a new date and notifies every ticket holder by text and email. You can refund instead if you'd rather. Most farms handle weather with a hard no-refund policy and then absorb the goodwill hit at the gate; moving the date is a better answer, and it keeps the money on your farm.

Can I sell season passes and add-ons?

Both. A season pass is its own ticket type — sell it in August, honor it all fall, and passholders still pick an arrival window so capacity stays honest. Add-ons ride along at checkout: the wagon ride, cider donuts, a pumpkin per child on a field trip. Everything reports separately even when one family buys it all at once.

What about school field trips, birthday parties, and bus groups?

Set them up as their own weekday events with per-student pricing, a group minimum and a deposit to hold the date — separate inventory from your public weekends. The teacher books it herself and you get one roster to hand to whoever meets the bus.

Is there still time before opening weekend?

Yes. Most patches and orchards open between the first and third weekend of September, and setup takes under ten minutes — you can be selling today. Even mid-season it's worth doing: the weekends you haven't sold are still ahead of you, and October weekends sell hardest anyway.

What happens after the season ends?

Every buyer lands on your guest list with their name, email and phone, and that list is yours on any plan. On Business and Business Pro you can send the follow-up from your dashboard: Christmas trees in November, CSA signups in February, the plant sale in April. A fall event is the cheapest customer acquisition on a farm — but only if you keep the names.

Every car that comes down your driveway this fall should leave a name behind.

Describe your patch, orchard or festival and publish in under ten minutes. Add your bank only when you're ready to sell.

No sales call. Free to set up, then 7% per ticket sold — or pass it to the guest. Your list exports with you, anytime.
