"Every morning started the same way — trying to remember what I forgot yesterday."
Between feeding rounds, vet calls, and keeping track of who was due for what, the mental load of running a small farm was heavier than the physical work. I tried apps built for big operations, but they wanted me to fill out forms longer than my to-do list. So I built something that lets me talk to my records the way I talk about my animals — by name, in plain English.
Mind the Farm started on our homestead in South Carolina, where we raise Great Pyrenees, goats, and poultry. It was built to solve one problem: keeping everything about every animal in one place, without making record-keeping feel like a second job.

What Mind the Farm is
Three things in one app
Smart Farm Assistant
Tell it what happened on the farm. It logs the records, sets the reminders, and tells you what's coming up. Supports 13 species, crops, gardens, and inventory — all in plain English.
Farmer Marketplace
Buy and sell animals backed by real health records, breeding history, and verified farm data. Listings are connected to the actual animal's records — not just a photo and a price.
Farmer Community
Forums, direct messages, follows, and a trust score built from real farm activity. Connect with farmers raising the same animals, ask questions, and share what works.
Your records stay yours.
- ✓ We don't sell or share your animal data. Not to feed companies, not to anyone.
- ✓ We don't train AI models on your records. The assistant uses your data to help you — not to teach a machine.
- ✓ You can export everything as CSV anytime. Cancel and we delete it.

Litters, waitlists & breeding
"I used to keep everything in a notebook."
Vaccination dates. Who was bred to who. When the farrier was last out. I had three spiral notebooks, a whiteboard in the barn, and a dozen sticky notes on the fridge. I still forgot things.
Now I just open my phone and say, "When is Daisy due?" or "Log a deworming for all the goats." It already knows my herd. It already knows what's coming up. I just talk to it.

What farmers are saying
"I run 47 Boer goats on 80 acres in central Texas. Kidding season used to mean a notebook full of scribbles I could barely read. Now I just tell it 'Daisy kidded twins this morning' and everything gets logged — dam, sire, birth weights, the lot. Saved me real time when the vet needed records."

"I have 8 Great Pyrenees in my breeding program and the puppy waitlist feature alone is worth it. Buyers can put down deposits online, I track vaccination schedules for every pup, and when someone asks for health records I pull them up on my phone right there in the barn."
Sarah K.
Great Pyrenees breeder · Wilkes County, NC
"We manage a flock of 200 layers and 15 head of Angus cattle on our homestead. Rotational grazing used to be guesswork — now I track paddock moves and rest days in the app. I typed 'vaccinate all the goats today' and it logged every single one. That's the kind of simple that actually works."
