For farms & local producers
Harvest in the morning. Deliver by dinner.
CSA boxes, farm shares, standing orders for restaurants — FreshRoutes plans the route around long country miles and heavy loads, and tells you the gas bill before the truck leaves the gate.
Free plan · 100 stops a month · No card required
The delivery-day problem
You grow the food. Somewhere along the way, the driving became a job.
Delivering it yourself is how you keep the cut the middleman used to take — right up until the routing eats it back. Here's what changes.
“Out here, the miles eat the margin before anything else does.”
Fewer trucks, fewer miles, and you know the cost up front
FreshRoutes plans the tightest loop that still hits every stop on time, and shows the cost while it’s still a plan — how many drivers, how many miles, and the gas from your truck’s real mileage and today’s fuel price.
“A truck full of produce is heavy long before it's full.”
It counts pounds, not just boxes
A produce truck fills up by weight long before it runs out of room. Tell FreshRoutes the truck’s limit — boxes and pounds — and it won’t overload it. When there’s more than one run can carry, it sends the truck back to reload.
“The chef needs it before prep, or not at all.”
Restaurant drops that land on time
Give a wholesale stop a “deliver by” time and mark it important. FreshRoutes puts it early — your standing orders arrive before the kitchen preps, and the home boxes fill in around them.
“My driver is whoever's free — my spouse, the farmhand, me.”
Any phone is all your driver needs
The route opens from a link or a QR code on the printed sheet — no app, no login. One Navigate button per stop, a photo for the box left in the shade, and a note that makes it back to the customer.
“One order from 40 miles out can wreck the whole loop.”
One faraway order won't wreck the day
Set how far you’re willing to drive, and the far-flung orders get flagged before you plan — not discovered on the road. When any order can’t fit — too heavy, too far, too late — you get the reason and the cheapest fix.
“CSA members email asking when the box lands.”
Members stop emailing to ask where their box is
Every delivery gets a page that shows where the box is and when it’ll arrive — on the way, a few stops away, delivered — with a photo of it on the porch. Fewer emails to you, not more.
Priced for the seasons
Pay for the busy season, not the slow one.
Farm delivery isn't the same all year, so it shouldn't cost the same all year. Plan ahead in the quiet months and scale up when everything ripens.
Plan weeks, not just days
Look at this week or the next 30 days, keep a backlog of orders that don't have a day yet, and roll a standing schedule forward with one click.
Costs nothing in the slow months
100 stops planned free every month in the slow season. When everything comes ripe at once, buy stops in bulk or pay $0.18 a stop past your free ones.
Home base is the farm
Set the barn or farmstand as your starting point. When the truck leaves, how long each stop takes, and when it's back — all part of the plan.
