Unlimited subscribers and multi-channel selling, without fees that compound with every order.
“With GrazeCart, it started to feel like I was managing the system more than my business. Local Line felt intuitive and farmer-focused. Everything just made sense.”
Thousands of farms in 14 countries trust Local Line to run their business.
Here's what farmers tell us when they make the move to Local Line.
GrazeCart charges per subscriber beyond plan limits. On Local Line, you can grow your subscriber list to 10, 1,000, or 10,000 — your platform cost stays exactly the same. Your growth shouldn't cost you more.
GrazeCart limits you to credit card payments. Local Line accepts cash, ACH, cheques, store credit, and more because wholesale buyers, CSA members, and farmers market regulars don't all pay the same way.
GrazeCart optimizes for shipping meat boxes. Local Line handles DTC, wholesale, CSA, farmers markets, and food hub selling from one platform that all draw from the same inventory.
GrazeCart doesn't help you find new customers. Local Line's Discover network connects you with grocers, restaurants, and distributors in your region.
A direct look at what each platform offers for farms selling direct.

More flexibility, fewer fees, and a smoother experience.
GrazeCart charges per subscriber beyond their plan limits. On Local Line you can grow your CSA, meat box program, or standing orders to as many customers as you want — the platform fee stays exactly the same.
Not every customer pays by credit card — especially wholesale buyers who prefer bank transfer, CSA members who write cheques, or farmers market regulars paying cash. Local Line accepts all of it, with no awkward workarounds.
GrazeCart was built for home delivery. Local Line was built for how farms actually sell: a CSA here, a restaurant account there, a farmers market on Saturday, and wholesale to the grocer down the road. One platform, one inventory, every channel.
Local Line lets you search for and connect with grocers, restaurants, distributors, and food hubs near you. It's the simplest way to grow your buyer network without cold calls or trade shows.
Create farmer's choice bundles, mixed meat boxes, or seasonal meal kits with Box Builder. Sell them as one-time purchases or recurring subscriptions. If you've been building boxes manually because GrazeCart couldn't handle it, you'll feel the difference immediately.
We know switching platforms feels like a lift. That's why Local Line handles the migration for you — at no extra cost. Most farms are fully live within two weeks.
We transfer your product catalog, customer list, and pricing directly — nothing gets rebuilt from scratch.
Your dedicated onboarding specialist helps configure your storefront, price lists, subscription programs, and fulfillment plans exactly how you need them.
Share your new store link with customers and use Local Line’s full feature set from day one.
Unlike Barn2Door’s onboarding fees, Local Line’s onboarding is free on every plan.
Products, customers, and pricing transferred directly at no cost.
A real person walks you through every step of setup and stays available throughout your transition.
Most farms complete migration and go live within two weeks of signing up.
“The great thing about Local Line is I'm still able to list products by the piece or by the head. The flexibility to select which option works best for each product is a HUGE lifesaver.”
“Local Line is a great option. The fact that they don't charge commission as some platforms do is huge. The more I sell doesn't mean the more I have to pay.”
“There are few platforms with better support than what Local Line provides. Their team is amazing and very communicative. They listen to customers constantly and are ever improving.”
Local Line is an all-in-one sales platform built for farms selling across multiple channels — DTC, wholesale, CSA, and farmers markets. GrazeCart is primarily designed for meat producers focused on home delivery and shipping. Local Line supports unlimited subscribers, flexible payment types, multi-vendor selling, and connects you to nearby buyers through Discover.
No. Local Line charges no per-subscriber fees on any plan. You can grow your subscriber list to as many customers as you want — your platform cost stays flat. GrazeCart charges for subscribers beyond your plan limit, which means costs compound as your business scales.
Absolutely. Local Line makes it easy for meat producers to sell by weight, manage inventory, and offer bulk or subscription boxes using Box Builder. You can set order minimums, delivery zones, and track inventory in real time. It's the right choice if you also want to build wholesale or restaurant accounts alongside your DTC sales.
Local Line supports credit card, ACH/bank transfer, cash, cheques, and store credit. GrazeCart is primarily credit-card focused. This matters for CSA members who pay by cheque, wholesale buyers who use bank transfer, and farmers market customers paying in cash.
Switching is straightforward and free. Local Line's onboarding team migrates your product catalog, customer list, and pricing from GrazeCart at no cost. Most farms are fully live within two weeks. There's no setup fee, and a dedicated onboarding specialist guides you through every step.
Yes. Local Line's Price Lists feature lets you create separate storefronts with custom URLs for different customer groups — retail, wholesale, restaurants, grocers — all drawing from the same inventory. Each price list can have different products, prices, and minimum orders. GrazeCart's wholesale tools are limited and focused on individual DTC customers.
Local Line is available in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and select European countries. GrazeCart is currently only available in the USA. Local Line also supports multiple languages including English, French, Spanish, Polish, German, Czech, and Slovenian.
No setup fees. Free migration. A dedicated specialist to get you live. Most farms are selling on Local Line within two weeks.
