About Local Line
Local Line is the leading farm-to-fork platform for farms who sell direct-to-customer. Our product acts as the mission critical system that farms of all kinds rely on to sell to households, restaurants, grocers, distributors, and more. We believe we can create a better food system by building the tools that farmers need to compete and succeed!

Local Line works with a wide variety of farm types including produce, livestock, dairy, seafood, and value-added products. Farms in eight countries rely on our platform daily for all of their e-commerce, inventory management, order fulfillment, invoicing, payments, and more. 

We’re a customer-obsessed team of ~25 and growing quickly. We have a clear vision for the future and a roadmap to execute on, and we’re looking for teammates who want to improve our food system by helping farmers become more successful.
