| 4 | 04/12/25 5:04 PM | Farmshare | Midwest Northeast Northwest Southeast Southwest West | Equipment and Software Suppliers Marketing Resources | Yes | No | No | Farmshare is building the connective tissue for a decentralized meat supply chain. We provide software tools for independent meat processors to manage their operations—everything from scheduling to inventory, yield tracking, invoicing, and compliance. Beyond operations, we’re developing a wholesale marketplace that connects institutional buyers (restaurants, retailers, schools, and more) directly with groups of independent producers. Using our national processor network to fabricate the product, we enable buyers to place recurring orders with custom specs and quality preferences (e.g., local, grass-fed), while solving three major challenges: Carcass balancing – We merchandise the whole animal, not just the primals. Scale aggregation – We combine supply across multiple producers to fulfill larger orders. Logistics – We coordinate shipping from processor to buyer using integrated carriers like Uber Freight. The result is a scalable, transparent, and more profitable route to market for producers and processors alike. | Not applicable | farmshare.co |
