Why we built this

Farms are the backbone of our communities

They feed our families, keep the land working and hold our towns together. We built Local Pass so buying from a farm is easy: fewer steps between the field and the table, a fairer price for the people who grow the food, and more of every food dollar staying on Vancouver Island.

Three steps from your field to local tables

  1. 1

    Tell us about your farm

    What you grow and where you are. The form below takes two minutes.

  2. 2

    Set up your page with us

    We add your products, prices and pickup times together.

  3. 3

    Start selling

    Orders come into the business app, and you get them ready on your own schedule.

Four ways to sell what you grow

  • Your farm’s page

    Your products on Local Pass, where households nearby find you and order, in the app and on Google.

  • Wholesale

    Restaurants, grocers, caterers and anyone else who buys in bulk order from a sheet of your wholesale prices, not by text. You confirm what you actually have before anything is invoiced.

  • CSA subscriptions

    Subscribers pay online and skip or swap their own weeks. You just pack the boxes.

    More below

  • Soon to Go

    Sell what won’t keep at a discount instead of throwing it out. It gets a clearance badge and shows higher up.

Included with every way of selling

  • By the unit or by weight

    Eggs by the dozen, meat by the pound — charged at what it actually weighs when you pack it.

  • Delivery, shipping and pickup

    Let customers choose: our drivers, your own delivery, shipping or a pickup point.

  • Promotions

    Run two-for-one deals and discounts to move more of what you have, and join the campaigns we run.

  • Chat and reviews

    Answer questions and reply to reviews.

  • Certifications on show

    Your certifications and awards on your page.

Your farm's shop: boxes, eggs, fruit and vegetables, each on its own page.

NewShared buying

Sell a lamb, a pig or a steer in shares

Sell it before processing day, or once it’s cut and frozen. Families pick the size that fits their freezer, on their own, with friends or with neighbours, and pay when they order.

  • Shares or any amount

    Quarters, halves, wholes or by the pound, and never more than the animal.

  • Before processing, or frozen

    Sell it before processing day, or already cut, wrapped and frozen.

  • Paid when they order

    In full or a deposit. By weight, the balance follows the weigh-in.

  • Friends or the community

    Buyers split a share with friends, or open it to neighbours who want less.

What your buyers see: the animal, the sizes you offer and how many shares are left.

Run your CSA on Local Pass

No more chasing e-transfers or sorting skips by email. Subscribers sign up, pay and skip or swap their own weeks. Each week's boxes arrive as orders, ready to pack, and the money comes with your daily payouts.

  • Every week or every two weeks

  • Paid per box or for the season

  • Skips, swaps, extras and a waitlist

  • Pickup locations or your own delivery

How CSA subscriptions work

The business app

Orders, stock and payouts in one place

Every farm gets every tool. No plans to upgrade, no add-ons to buy.

  • Scan to pick

    Scan each item as you pack, with your phone’s camera or a barcode scanner, so nothing gets missed.

  • Order calendar

    Orders by pickup and delivery date, flagged when they’re due soon or late. Customers get an email at each step.

  • Pack lists and labels

    Print a pack list and an address label for every box. Make product labels with ingredients, allergens and Nutrition Facts from your recipe.

  • Live stock counts

    Stock goes down with every sale, and you’ll see when it’s running low. A product stops selling when you run out.

  • Spreadsheet import

    Bring in all your products from a CSV file, and edit many at once.

  • Daily payouts

    Your earnings go to your bank automatically every day. Statements and a sales-tax report are ready to download.

  • Sales insights

    Your sales, best sellers and best customers, next to the period before.

  • Phone, tablet or computer

    The app for the field and the barn, and the business portal for the office.

Sell from your own website, too

Sell on your own website without running a second system. It uses the same products, stock and payouts as Local Pass.

  • Your shop, a few products or a subscription box

    Paste your whole shop, chosen products, an order button or a subscription box with its Join button into your own website.

  • Subscribers you already have

    Import your current subscribers from a spreadsheet. Each gets a personal link to join, with their spot held.

  • Restaurants you already supply

    They order from a sheet of your wholesale prices rather than from the Local Pass app.

  • We handle checkout and payment

    Customers pay on Local Pass and choose pickup, your delivery or ours. The money arrives with your daily payouts.

NewYour own store site

No website? Your shop can be one.

When customers come in through your own link, your Local Pass shop looks like your own website, not like an app full of other businesses.

  • Your name and logo up top

    With your own menu: your shop, and pre-orders, subscriptions, wholesale or catering when you offer them.

  • No other stores around you

    No marketplace, no other businesses’ products. Just a small “Powered by Local Pass” at the bottom.

  • Opened from your links

    Your shop link, your QR code and your website’s Order button all open this version.

  • Same checkout, same account

    Customers pay on Local Pass, and the orders come in with all the others.

  • Delivery routes

    Stop planning delivery routes by hand

    Add your vehicles and press one button. Every delivery for the day, from restaurant drops to subscription boxes and shop orders, goes onto a route for each vehicle, in the order to drive it. Print the sheet and go.

    • Drivers follow the route

      In the Local Pass app. iPhone now, Android coming soon.

    • Customers are home for it

      They get a message when the driver is on the way.

    • Loads and hours kept

      No vehicle is loaded past its limit or kept out past the driver’s hours. Frozen goods go on refrigerated vans.

    • Orders changed?

      Plan again in one click.

    One day’s deliveries, from restaurant drops to subscription boxes, planned across two vehicles.

How Local Pass compares

Co-founder of Local Pass

Rather talk first?

I’d like to hear about your farm — what you grow, how you sell today, and what would make Local Pass worth your time. Send me a note and I’ll get back to you.

Questions farmers ask

What can I sell on Local Pass?

Most things you grow, raise or make: vegetables, fruit and berries, eggs, meat and poultry, dairy, honey, herbs, mushrooms, microgreens, grains and flour, nuts, maple syrup, fish and seafood, baked goods, preserves, juice, wine and cider, coffee and tea, prepared meals and pet food. Raw milk, cannabis and tobacco are the exceptions.

What does it cost a farm to sell on Local Pass?

There’s no subscription and no setup or listing fees. You pay a small fee on each sale, which helps Local Pass grow.

Can I pause my store in the off-season?

Yes, and it costs nothing. When your season ends, set your shop to Closed from your dashboard. Your products and data stay safe until you reopen.

How long does it take to get set up?

Setting up takes under ten minutes and needs no technical experience.

Can I sell meat?

Yes. Sell single cuts priced by weight, or put a whole animal up in shares, before processing or already cut and frozen, so several households buy it together.

How is Local Pass different from Local Line or Local Food Marketplace?

Local Line and Local Food Marketplace are subscription software for running your own farm web store, and finding retail customers is up to you. Local Pass is a local food app where households and restaurants on Vancouver Island already order, and there’s no subscription. You can use it alongside either.

Why not just sell on Facebook Marketplace?

It’s free, but Meta’s commerce policies don’t allow raw meat, fish or eggs. And every sale is a message thread and a meetup, with no shop or payments built in.

Can a farm outside Vancouver Island sell on Local Pass?

Local Pass starts on Vancouver Island, where its households and restaurants are. A farm somewhere else can still apply: tell us where you are and what you grow.

Do I have to give up my farm gate, market stall or CSA?

No. There’s no exclusivity and no minimum. Your farm gate, market stall, CSA members and wholesale accounts carry on exactly as they are. Local Pass is one more way to sell, not a replacement.
