Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

Local Line is trusted by thousands of farmers, farmers market and food hubs around the world. See what they have to say about Local Line.

“The great thing about Local Line is I’m still able to list products by the piece or, for lettuce as an example, by the head. The inventory and pricing for that product are based on the unit, not by weight. I have the flexibility to select which option works best for each product. It’s a HUGE lifesaver"

Karin

Wolf Creek Family Farm

"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."

Robert

Pleasant Valley Farm

“Local Line is amazing!! We’ve been using them for e-commerce for a couple of years and are so excited about the POS integration. The customer service is unmatched, and the platform is very user friendly.”

Melissa

Bluegrass Beef Kentucky

"Local Line was suggested to us by a fellow grower. We signed up for the free trial and were extremely pleased with the ease of use, customer service and the cost of the platform. Very happy with our experience."

Diane

Cramer Farm

"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. As a newer farmer, I need to know how much I’m going to spend every year on software. With the other platform we used for our wholesale cooperative, we spent $12,000 in commission per year."

Jeff

Spur Hollow Farm

“We've been really impressed with the people behind Local Line. It's really focused on agriculture and what we're doing which is really handy. Anytime you're asking for support, there's always someone there. They're speaking our language, they know farming. They know the platform really well.”

Laura and Ray

River Bottom Family Farm

"Local Line has been a great tool for us as our farm continues to grow. We appreciate the efficiencies that better inventory management has brought us as well as it's been a good support tool for our bookkeeper to use too!"

Michelle

Whiskey Creek Ranch

“Loving Local Line for our online store! It makes our business SO much easier by having all the orders placed online. Then, we can print out a list of items to pack up for the Market. I can't believe I was ever hesitant to start an online storefront. It has been the best for our farm business!”

Mark and Denise

ReMARKable Farms

"Local Line is a game changer for small-medium Market Gardens. It opens up a bigger customer base at a very affordable cost. Local Line pays for itself and then some every month."
