For small farms, market gardens and apiaries

Your whole farm, in one place.

Rootstone keeps your tasks, plantings, seeds, hives, hens, sales and spending together, and shares them with the people you farm with. Less time in notebooks and spreadsheets, more time outside.

Invitation only. Tell us about your farm and we'll reply by email.

Stop piecing your season together

The jobs list is in a notebook, the seed order in a spreadsheet, the hive notes on your phone. Rootstone puts them side by side.

Know what's due

Tasks, sales, frost alerts and your own events on one calendar, and a list of what's yours to do today.

See every bed, hive and coop

Where everything is planted, how each hive and flock is doing, and what needs attention next.

Know where the money goes

What you spent, what you sold and what's left in stock, without a second set of books.

Everything a small farm runs on

Use what you need. Each part can be switched on or off for your farm.

Every day

  • DashboardToday's weather, open tasks, stock, and money in and out, on one page. One search box finds anything, from a seed packet to a hen.
  • CalendarTasks, sales, frost alerts and your own events together. Drag a task to a new day.
  • WeatherCurrent conditions, hourly and 7-day forecasts for your farm, with frost warnings.

Operational

  • TasksTo-dos with who's doing them, due dates, priorities and subtasks, and jobs that repeat on a schedule, like every other Monday or the last Friday of the month.
  • ExpensesSpending by category and vendor, with receipts attached and summaries by month.
  • SalesLine items, discounts, tax and split payments. Stock updates itself when you sell.
  • ProductsWhat you sell, in every size and variety, with photos and a running stock ledger.

Cultivation

  • PlantingsPlots, beds and what's in them: a journal from sowing to harvest, a season chart and crop-rotation warnings.
  • Plant LibraryA shared catalogue of plants with your own notes, photos, growing history and printable labels.
  • Seed CatalogEvery variety and packet you have, how fresh it is, germination tests and a shopping list.

Livestock

  • ApiaryBee yards and hives: inspections, mite counts, treatments, feeding, queens and splits.
  • PoultryCoops and birds: ages and stages worked out for you, losses, how full each coop is, recurring tasks like cleaning it, and what each coop costs.

A closer look · Apiary

Every hive's story, from the first inspection

  • Inspections with brood, temperament, swarm cells and photos, right from the hive.
  • Mite counts flagged as soon as they pass your threshold.
  • Treatments with removal dates, so you know when honey is safe to harvest.
  • Queens, marking colours, splits and each hive's lineage.
  • Printable hive labels with a QR code that opens the inspection form.
