What is Tend?
Tend is a farm management software designed to help growers plan, manage, and scale their operations with confidence.
Farming is more than a job, it is a calling. But behind every successful farm is a complex operation, managing planting schedules, harvests, teams, inventory, and sales. Tend was built to simplify that complexity.
Designed by farmers, for farmers, Tend brings every part of your operation together in one powerful platform. From planning and production to sales, certifications, and analytics, Tend gives you a single place to manage your farm from seed to sale.
Whether you are running a small diversified farm or managing a larger operation, Tend adapts to your needs and grows with you.

Tend helps farmers stay organized and make better decisions by centralizing day-to-day farm management tasks in one place.

Create a Crop Library of everything you grow and how you grow it
Plan and manage your crop schedule
Track plantings, harvests, and yields

Manage customers, orders, and sales

How Tend works
Getting started with Tend is simple and flexible.
Begin by building your crop library, just tell Tend what you grow and how you grow it. You can use AI-powered growing templates or create fully customized workflows tailored to your operation.
Next, map your farm using an interactive layout. Define your growing areas, update them easily, and share them with your team in real time.
As you build your plan, Tend automatically generates dynamic, data-driven schedules that reduce guesswork and help you stay on track.
Each planting creates a clear set of tasks, including timelines, team assignments, equipment needs, input tracking, attached photos, labor estimates, and detailed instructions, so your workflows stay organized and nothing falls behind.
