Small-farm bookkeeping beta, launching locally first
Farm books that stay clean before tax season.

FieldLedger keeps receipts, farm categories, season tags, and simple summaries together for farms that have outgrown envelopes and brittle spreadsheets.

Beta applicants get the first guided setup and local-first trial access.

Credibility

A narrow beta, not another bloated farm platform.

The first version is intentionally small: prove farmers will pay for cleaner books, then graduate the mocked integrations to real Postgres and Stripe.

Goal$15/mo
Seed order$128
Market fee$45
CSA deposit$600
Built around the 14-day revenue test
FieldLedger is launching toward one concrete signal: 1 paying farm at $15/mo before April 23, 2026. That keeps the beta focused on painful farm-bookkeeping work.
ModeMock-safe
Seed order$128
Market fee$45
CSA deposit$600
Local-first by default
The beta runs without live Stripe or Postgres credentials. Payment and database integrations stay behind environment variables until real demand is validated.

Farm categories, not generic charts
Seed, compost, feed, market fees, packing supplies, equipment, CSA deposits, and other farm-native categories stay visible.

Season summaries before tax time
Tag entries by Spring 2026, CSA, Saturday market, tomato tunnel, or custom season labels so tax prep is not a January excavation.

Three moves from shoebox to summary.

The mechanism is simple enough for a market-day note and structured enough for the person handling the books.

Capture

Drop the receipt before it gets muddy

Add an expense, supplier, amount, and quick note from the truck, office, or market table.

Tag

Tie entries to the farm reality

Use farm-specific categories and season tags so a repair, seed order, or market fee stays tied to the right year and project.

Review category totals, seasonal cash movement, and a simple exportable summary for your bookkeeper or tax preparer.
