LFM is helping farmers manage the unexpected—with fewer clicks.

When Fiddlehead Farms had a smaller yield of spinach than expected, farmer Heather Coffey needed a quick solution to update over 150 customer orders with smaller bags of spinach.  Luckily, LFM’s latest software update includes bulk options to help farmers change multiple customer orders with just a few clicks of a button.

“I can see all members who ordered spinach, check a box to select all the orders, and put a new price per bag so everyone could get a smaller bag of spinach instead. LFM’s new features worked like a charm to make sure everyone could get a taste!” -Heather Coffey, Fiddlehead Farm

On pack day, farmers don’t have time to waste—that’s why LFM is making it easy to make bulk order changes with just a few clicks. Watch the video below to see the steps to update products from multiple orders at once!
