Setting up your farm for the first time

A complete step-by-step walkthrough of your first 20 minutes in FarmFlow — from creating the account to seeing your first worker check off a task.

Before you start

Spend 5 minutes gathering this info before you open FarmFlow — it makes the setup fly.

  • Worker list: full name and cell phone number for every person on your crew.
  • Field list: a rough name for each field, approximate acreage, and what is planted there right now.
  • Season: the current season name (Spring 2026, Fall 2026, etc.).

Step 1 — Create your account

  1. Go to the landing page and click Start Free — 14 Days.
  2. Fill in your name, farm name, email, and a password with at least 8 characters.
  3. Pick a plan. If you're not sure, choose Harvest.
  4. Click Create account. You'll land on the dashboard.

Step 2 — Add your fields

  1. Click Fields in the sidebar.
  2. Click + Add Field and enter name, acreage, crop, and notes.
  3. Save. Repeat for every field.

Step 3 — Add your workers

  1. Click Workers, then + Add Worker.
  2. Enter name, phone, role, and status.
  3. Send invite — they'll get a text with a magic link.

Step 4 — Create your first task

  1. Click + Add Task from the Dashboard.
  2. Title it with an action verb, pick the field, assign a worker, set priority and due date.
  3. Save. The assigned worker gets a notification.

Common first-day problems

  • Worker didn't get the text — check the number, try Copy Link instead.
  • Wrong field on a task — open the task, click the field, pick the right one.
  • Can't find Add Task — it's in the top-right of the top bar.
