Program details

Choosing Mercantile Local gives you the same share-management dashboard already built for merchants who run their own CSA β€” set your shares, track subscribers, print pickup lists. This is what the "Join This CSA / Order Delivery" button on your page uses.

Shown as a "Full vendor list" link on your page, next to your Mercantile Local vendor roster.

Attach a CSV/PDF/spreadsheet if you have one. Helps us reach out and invite your participating farms to link their own listings to your page.

Contact & social
