Locally Grown

Locally Grown is a US farm marketplace and selling app. Farms and homesteads create a free online store, take pre-orders, run CSA subscriptions and sell in person with a phone-based point of sale, while shoppers order through iOS, Android or web apps. It is aimed at small and mid-sized farms, and the vendor says it is supported by the USDA's Local Farm Promotion Program.
