The recent announcement of Harvie’s platform shutdown at the end of 2024 has left many farms searching for alternative solutions to manage their CSA operations. Finding a reliable replacement platform should be a priority if you're currently using Harvie for your CSA shares, packing, and communications.
This article explores the best alternatives to Harvie, focusing on Local Line as a leading alternative option with comparable features and experience for Harvie customers.
Harvie was a software platform designed to help CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farms offer their members a more flexible and personalized CSA experience. When signing up for a CSA share, members used a farm’s dedicated sign-up page on the Harvie website.
Harvie allowed members to set their product preferences, ensuring that each week’s share was customized based on both availability and personal tastes. Beyond customization, Harvie offered flexible payment plans and options like vacation holds, allowing members to reschedule their shares or change pickup locations.
However, Harvie shut down at the end of 2024. This closure affects many who rely on its services for their local food needs.
As Harvie ends its journey, farmers must find alternative solutions for their CSA software. This transition presents an opportunity for new platforms to emerge and fill the gap left by Harvie.
The Harvie software platform shut down at the end of December 2024. It has been essential for managing CSA shares, packing, and communications. This closure means farms and CSAs must act fast for a seamless transition.
