Weekly boxes in any size, seasonal contents, and members who pause their own weeks away. The pack list is exact, so good food stops going to waste.
Who paused, who swapped to a large, who moved house. Every week the list is rebuilt by hand, and every week something slips through.
Pack four boxes too many and it is your own good food composted. Pack four too few and someone’s dinner is missing.
They were away, the box sat on the step, and now they want a refund for food that spoiled. Nobody enjoys that conversation.
Standing orders, cash at the gate, a transfer with no reference. Matching money to members eats an evening a week.
Every pause, size change and new member feeds the nightly plan. On pack day you open one exact list, small, medium and large already totalled.
Away next week is two taps in their app, done days ahead. No box on the step, no refund conversation, no wasted food.
Demand by size and by season, in plain reports. You see that large boxes are growing before you plan the spring sowing.
Wallets are topped up ahead by any method you accept, and each delivered box is charged on the doorstep. The matching evening disappears.
The parts of Lanemi a produce scheme leans on every week.

A veg box scheme in Kerala, a market garden in Normandy, a farm co-op outside Portland. Your currency, your payment methods, your rules.
Lanemi began on a working farm with its own delivery round. The exact pack list exists because we have composted our own over-packing. We use the system every morning before we ask you to.
Read our storyThe Sunday-night spreadsheet is gone. Pack day starts with one exact list.
We compost almost nothing now. The count is right because members skip their own holidays.

No. Members subscribe to a size, and what goes in it is up to you and the season. If you also sell fixed add-ons like eggs or bread, they ride along on the same delivery.
Yes, themselves, from their app. Size changes and one-off extras land in the next pack list automatically.
Cash tops up their wallet like any other method, and it is tracked from hand to books, so the evening of matching payments to names goes away.
Yes. A pickup point is a stop on the runsheet like any other, with its own list of boxes to hand over.
You can see demand by box size and how it moves by season, which is the honest half of that answer. What goes in the ground is still your call.
Short, practical, and no filler. Leave any time.
