June 2023: Back to Basics

Wait But Why

Learning to take appreciate sun and rain in equal measure, patiently waiting for the plant to grow and bear fruit, protecting your garden from parasites. Gardening has a lot to teach us about getting back to basics.

This last month at Zero Mile Labs we too decided to focus on the basics: we wrote an essay about the motivation(s) behind CropStand, read it here. We’d love your feedback, send us your thoughts at contact@zeromilelabs.com.

Also, my garden plants are growing! Even though something decided to eat part of my kale…..

In June, we also made two quality-of-life improvements to CropStand:

We shortened the time it takes for the app to show nearby farm stands

It used to take a couple of seconds for the app to show nearby farm stands. Now it is almost instant! 🎉

We made it easier to share a link or QR code of your stand

Before this update, you as a stand owner had the ability of receiving an email with a QR code pointing to your stand, now you can access your stand’s QR code or link directly from the QR code screen! You can then decide to print that QR code image or share a link to your stand on the social network of your choice. Pretty handy!

Compare the left screenshot (before) with the right one (after).

Don’t have a stand yet? Download the app from here and create an account in 1 minute!

Creating your stand is free; you pay only for the produce purchased through the app. What if you could increase your farm stand sales by 30%? Worth trying.
