Run your bakery like a business, not a spreadsheet.
TopFarmStand isn't open to the public yet. When it goes live, every new farm gets 60 days free. We'll post the go-live date as we get closer.
Right now we're taking a small number of beta testers — bakers who run their real business on it and tell us what's missing. Testers who stick with it and keep the feedback coming can earn free access well past launch.
Everything a home bakery runs on, in one place
From the 25 lb bag of flour to the box on the pickup table — and the rules your state asks you to follow.
Your kitchen
Know what every batch costs, and what to bake today.
Recipes that cost themselves
Every recipe priced down to the ingredient from what you actually paid. Change the count or the pan size and the amounts and cost follow — no manual math.
Pantry & shopping list
Know what's on hand. The list builds itself from your orders; check items off in the store aisle and your pantry updates as you go.
Mix and Prep pages
Big, clear pages for the counter: what to mix, in measuring-cup fractions, and how many batches — readable with flour on your hands.
Day plans & capacity
Your open hours and how much your kitchen can bake in a day, so you stop saying yes to more than fits.
Price-change alerts
When an ingredient costs more, you're told which prices just dropped below your markup — before it eats your margin.
Kitchen setup that's yours
Your pans, mixers, oven, cookie sizes and packaging, so every estimate matches your real kitchen.
Your orders
From the first text to the box on the table.
The order book
Every order from quote to pickup, with due dates, deposits and what's still owed, on a calendar you can trust.
Recurring orders
The weekly regulars set up once — every Tuesday, every other Friday — and they appear on their own.
"Your order is ready" emails
Customers hear from you when their order is ready, with your farm's name and your reply address.
Customer cake designer
Customers pick a size, a design and colours, write the message, add a picture to go by, and send it to you with a price estimate.
Packing sheets & box slips
Print what goes in each box, with the customer, the items and the label lines your state requires.
Your team
Staff get their own logins and see only what you let them, so every sale says who took it.
Selling
Your own storefront, at the market and online.
Your own web page
A page at topfarmstand.com with your menu, photos and hours, plus a QR code for your cards and your stand.
Online ordering
Customers order from your page; the orders land in your book, priced the way you set them.
Events & market register
Plan a market day, bake for it, and sell from a register on your phone. Afterwards, a tally of what sold and what came home.
Card payments
Pay now links for your customers, and Tap to Pay on your iPhone — the money goes to your own Square account, never through us.
Being switched on nowCompliance NEW
Your state's cottage-food rules, in plain words — and the app helps you keep them.
Your state's rules, plainly
What your state asks of a home bakery: the label statement, the sales limit, where you may sell. Rules for all 50 states and D.C. are loaded, each checked against the state's own pages.
Allergens & calories from your pantry
Pick each ingredient from a standard list and its allergens and calories fill in — then every recipe shows its own.
Labels that say the right thing
Box slips print the required statement, the allergens and the net weight. Anything not confirmed yet says "ask the baker", never a guess.
Label information on your web page
When your state wants online customers to see it before they pay, your page shows it by itself.
A sales-limit meter
This year's sales against your state's yearly limit, so you see it coming long before it matters.
Permit & card reminders
Your food handler card, registration and insurance — reminded 30 days before they run out.
A compliance sheet to print
One page with your state's rules, your permits and their dates, and this year's sales — ready for an inspector or a market manager.
Rules that stay current
States change their rules. One click from your Compliance page tells us what changed, and we update the app for every baker in that state.
Your own label designs
Design your labels your way — in Canva or any tool — and the app prints the ingredients, allergens and your state's statement into them.
In the worksKnowing your numbers
See what's working without a spreadsheet.
Sales & money received
What sold, what came in and how it was paid, by week or by month.
Expenses
Booth fees, fuel, insurance, permits — monthly or one-off, kept beside your sales so the profit is a real number.
Event tallies
Every market day: made, sold there, sold later, and what was given away or wasted.
Built with you
The app grows from what bakers tell us.
Report a problem
A 🐞 button on every page sends what went wrong — with a screenshot if you like — straight to us.
Suggestion box
A 💡 button for ideas. Feature requests aren't a nuisance here — they're the roadmap.
Help on every screen
The little ⓘ next to a setting says what it does, when you need it, and what it costs to get it wrong.
Beta testers, plainly stated
- What we ask: use it for your real orders, and tell us what's missing, confusing or broken — the 🐞 and 💡 buttons on every page come straight to us.
- What you get: the whole app, every add-on, free during the beta.
- After launch: the testers who stayed active and kept the feedback coming can keep free access for a long time. We decide that tester by tester and tell you in writing; nothing changes without hearing from us first.
- Your data is yours, kept apart from every other farm, and never deleted.
- How it starts: you send a short request; we read every one ourselves and email you an invitation if it's a fit.
The trial, plainly stated
- 60 days free to start. Core tools start today; every add-on has its own free 30-day trial you start whenever you're ready.
- No credit card required to start. We won't charge you anything you haven't agreed to.
- When a trial ends, your account goes read-only if you haven't set up a paid plan — you can still see everything, but new orders and edits pause. Nothing is ever deleted.
- Ready to continue? Send us a message any time during or after your trial and we'll get you set up on a plan that fits your business.
Pricing
We're still finalizing pricing — a simple, affordable base plan, with a higher tier for a bit more if you want extra features. No numbers yet, so nothing to promise you prematurely. If you're using TopFarmStand when pricing lands, we'll reach out to you directly first — you won't be switched to anything without hearing from us.
Why we built this
TopFarmStand started as the software running our own family's farm stand — and it still does, every day. Our goal is simple: a solid product at a very affordable price. Farm stands and home bakeries run on thin margins; the software they run on shouldn't eat them. If something's missing, tell us.
Your recipes stay yours
Our family's stand runs on original recipes too, so we treat recipe privacy the way you do. Your account is completely separated from every other farm's, and there is no sharing feature — no way to publish a recipe or send it to another account, so there's no mechanism to leak one even by accident. We host on our own private servers, not a big cloud, so no third-party vendor or their staff can touch the data. And in the spirit of full honesty: exactly one person — me, the owner, who keeps the servers running — is technically able to browse the database at all. Once we're rolling there will be thousands of recipes in here, and I have other things to build. Your recipes are safe from me. If recipe sharing is ever something you want, that will be a deliberately designed feature with protections on both sides — tell us.
