$40K in Renewals—and Reclaimed Sanity.
Farmer Melanie used a retention-first strategy and the right tools to streamline her farm, ditch the spreadsheets, and bring in $40K in CSA renewals–in less than two weeks.
“We’ve doubled our member retention since switching to Farmhand."
Melanie was managing her CSA the hard way—Google Forms, spreadsheets, emails, and confusion. As her membership grew, so did the overwhelm. Then she switched to Farmhand.
With automated renewals, simplified customer communication, and built-in support, Melanie didn’t just reduce her admin time—she created more space to connect with her members and grow her business.
Today, her CSA is stronger than ever, and she’s spending more time with her farm, her family, and her community.
