What makes Openherd different?

Openherd exists to support the success of the family farm by providing easy, affordable online marketing tools under one roof.

Openherd is unique because our easy-to-use system is built specifically for farmers to help them market their animals and products online, giving you the feel of a custom built website without the high costs and technological headache.

Many farms have tried to set up their own websites and struggled with systems that are too complicated or have wasted a lot of money on a custom website that's equally as expensive to update. That's because these companies don't understand what farmers need or care about what they're trying to achieve.

We understand farmers - why you love what you do - and how to connect you to the customers who are looking for what you have.

Our system not only includes an amazing custom website as the central piece of your marketing but also unparalleled exposure on our national marketplace, and the ability to market on a breed or regional association website - all from one set of edits!

Openherd has been serving family farms since 2007 and we've helped thousands of farms "get over the hump" in their online marketing by helping them sell the things they love creating, so they can live free of the 9-5!

Every farm should be able to promote themselves easily and effectively without it costing a lot of money or being overwhelming.

If you're tired of expensive, complicated marketing that lacks results, then give Openherd a try today!
