Apps from Kummer Homestead
Built and used on our own farm in Chattooga County, Georgia. Each one does one part of the farm well, and they work even better together.
All four are free betas on TestFlight
Grazing
Rotational Grazing Manager
Free beta
Know when to move, where to go, and whether the grass will last.
- The next move for every herd and flock, and which paddocks have rested
- Rest counted in growing days, so winter never fools the plan
- Hay and feed forecasts before they’re urgent
- See everything Grazing can do
Flock
Poultry Flock Manager
Free beta
Know when to switch feed, when to replace, and when to reorder.
- Every batch from hatch to dispatch: feed changes, first eggs, replacement, processing
- Feed on hand, the day it runs out and what to order
- Eggs by coop, nest spots, health notes and supplements
- See everything Flock can do
Market
Farm Sales Manager
Free beta
Know who ordered what, who picks up when, and who still owes.
- Orders by text, phone or at the door, lined up by pickup day and place
- Shares of a steer or hog from deposit and cut sheet to the hanging-weight bill
- Stock by freezer, a quick tally for market days, and a “what’s available” message in a tap
- See everything Market can do
Chores
Homestead Chores Manager
Free beta
Know who does what, and whether it got done.
- Every person’s jobs for the day, farm and house, ticked off by the kids themselves
- A farm sitter’s list while you’re away, with a named person for every group’s water
- A guide to your farm: who to call, what each valve shuts off, the day at a glance
- See everything Chores can do
Use one, or use them together
Each app stands on its own and keeps its own records. On the same iPhone they pass along what the others need to know, so nothing is entered twice:
- Flock and Grazing: a coop in Flock follows its flock in Grazing. Flock keeps the head count, Grazing the moves.
- Market: sells what the other two raise. Processing days in Flock become stock, and animals in Grazing become shares.
- Chores: a job ticked off there, like moving the cattle or checking a water tank, is recorded in Grazing or Flock.
The links are in the betas now and still being tested on our farm.
What every app has in common
Questions
How do I join a beta?
On your iPhone or iPad, tap “Join the free beta” under the app. It opens TestFlight, Apple’s free app for testing apps before they’re in the App Store, and the app installs from there. Betas are free, and TestFlight tells you when there’s a new version.
What do they cost?
Grazing has a free plan for a homestead’s whole rotation, and paid plans for more herds and for teams; the prices are on its page. Flock and Market are free betas for now; their pricing will be set before launch. Chores has a free chore chart and paid Family and Farm plans; prices will be set before launch.
Are they on Android?
Not yet. They’re made for the iPhone and iPad, and Flock, Market and Chores run on the Mac too.
What’s next?
More apps for the rest of the homestead, built the same way: first for our own farm, then for yours. Tell us what you’d want next.
