Local Line

For years, Josh Pyles’s family sent their cattle to the stockyard. Josh always wanted to sell beef direct, and he brought it up on his and Ashley’s first date. 🐄

In 2024 they launched Blue Meadow Beef in Henry County, Kentucky. Today they sell beef, pasture-raised chicken and eggs at two farmers’ markets, online, to restaurants and through a monthly subscription box, all from one shared inventory on Local Line.

Switching from Barn2Door to Local Line put all their inventory in one place. Since then, their subscription box program has taken off.

“One day when the stockyard drops from $4 a pound to $1.75, and everybody else is freaking out, we have options.”

Read how they built a direct-to-consumer meat business:

“The inventory was always wrong.” 🥩

Before Local Line, Blue Meadow Beef LLC ‘s bundles had their own separate inventory. Stock 16 ribeyes, sell three bundles, and it still said 16 ribeyes were available.

Now their boxes are built from one shared inventory. When someone buys a bundle, it pulls straight from the ground beef and ribeyes. Ashley says it was the deciding factor for why they moved to Local Line from Barn2Door.

Pick & Pack, explained 🌱

The new Pick & Pack feature in Local Line has four parts:

1️⃣Templates are the recipe. They set which orders show up and how your lists look, including columns, sorting and grouping. Make as many as you need, like Weekly Orders, Market Days or CSA Boxes.
2️⃣Runs are each cycle. Inside a template, you start a run for a set of fulfillment dates.
3️⃣Pick lists show what to harvest or pull, organized by product.
4️⃣Pack lists show what goes in each order, organized by customer.

Build it once, then run it every week. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q04zrmJd0

New in Local Line: Live Pick & Pack Lists

Harvest day just got a lot less chaotic. Pick & Pack gives you one pick list for everything you need to harvest, and a pack list for every order, all in one place.

Check items off from your phone or tablet while you work. If an order comes in late or changes after your deadline, you'll see it right away, so nothing gets missed. When you need paper, export a CSV or download PDF picking and packing slips.

Set up a template once, and every run after that uses the same filters.

See how it works:

No more stacks of paper packing slips, crossed-out quantities and c...

We launched a farm website grader!

Simply paste your URL and you get an online health grade, plus a report with exactly what to fix. It's completely free and takes about three minutes.

The Grader scans for two things:
✅ Can people find you. Search, AI answers, and whether your homepage clearly says what you sell and where.
✅ Can people buy from you. Online ordering, how fast they reach a product, visible prices, and whether your listings have photos, descriptions, units and stock status.

Most small roasters think there are only two options for getting into grocery stores: find a distributor, or don't get in at all.

Rocket Cup Coffee found a third way.

"LocalLine gave us the ability to sell into 90-plus stores in four months, where normally a distributor would be the only other option," says Brodie Hill.

No middleman. No giving up the relationship. Just their beans, their pricing, their stores, and 90+ new grocery accounts in under four months, including Tops Friendly Markets.

Every box that goes out from The Commons Makers Co-op introduces someone to a farm they might never have found on their own.

"Our subscription boxes have been great for introducing customers to local farms they didn't shop from," says co-founder Mike Degagne. "They've increased both our in-store food sales and our farm partners' sales."

Mike and Rachel Lachance built a year-round storefront for 60+ makers, farmers, and producers across Northern Ontario, a region where farm sales used to stop when market season ended.
