Success Story
How Brown Sugar Produce grew their CSA using Local Line
Teri from Brown Sugar Produce uses Local Line's email marketing to remind customers to place orders. Using this feature, combined with her a-la-carte CSA model resulted in upsells worth more than $3,000 per month! The success of Local Line in her business allowed her to ditch the market and build a direct customer base.
"I spend less time on the computer and more time with my hands in the soil because we use Local Line. I don’t want to spend time in the office, and Local Line has helped me achieve this."

You have questions, we have answers!
Is Local Line a marketplace?
Not exactly! Local Line is not the "Amazon of local food". There are some marketplace aspects to our platform, like our connections feature that allows farms to re-sell with other farms and food hubs, or our discover feature that allows buyers to search for farms in their area.
Mainly, Local Line is an e-commerce platform for the farm, enabling them to sell to all of their customers.
What is Local Line?
Local Line is an e-commerce platform that helps farms, producers, food hubs and farmers markets sell to their customers and manage all their operations in one place. Keep your customers, inventory, orders, and payments in sync with a robust set of features that help you sell and market your products.
Is Local Line right for me?
Local Line is built for food suppliers doing direct marketing. If you're building direct relationships with your customers, whether it's using retail or wholesale channels, Local Line is a fit for you.
In what countries is Local Line available?
Local Line is available in the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and select other European countries.
Currently our platform is only available in English but we will be adding more languages in the future.
If you'd like to use Local Line and are located outside of our service areas, please join our waitlist and we will notify you when Local Line becomes available in your country!
Can I sell retail and wholesale?
Yes! Price lists allow you to sell to multiple sales channels using one inventory. Using our Price List feature you can control the products, packaging, pricing, payment methods, fulfillment times, and more for each customer segment.
Depending on your Local Line subscription level, you may have one or multiple price lists. You can purchase additional price lists for $30/month.
I run a CSA. Can I use Local Line?
Yes! If you have the Store Credits feature enabled in your Local Line account, your CSA customers can purchase credits in advance and pay with those credits upon checkout.
Local Line is a well known platform for flexible/choice CSA's, which allow the customer to customize their box each order period.
Our upcoming Subscriptions feature will make it easy for fixed box CSA's to run their recurring box deliveries.
