Getting Started

What can Heirloom plan for my market garden?

Your whole season, bed by bed, in one place instead of in your head. Heirloom is crop planning and farm operations software built for market gardens under 5 acres, down to a backyard plot, on Jean-Martin Fortier’s biointensive method.

  • Map your farm: field blocks, greenhouses, tunnels and their beds, on the aerial view.
  • Build your Game Plan: every planting and succession of the season, with its dates.
  • Place each planting on its beds in the Crop Map, season after season.
  • Follow the tasks, the seeds and the harvests your plan calls for, worked out for you.
