A few of everything, in one place.

Switch off what you don't run

This is the part that matters most for a small place. Seven modules toggle off in Settings → Modules, and most of them leave the sidebar entirely when they do — not greyed out, not empty, gone.

No equipment maintenance log if the tractor is the only machine. No finance ledger if you're not selling anything. No rotation on the Land page if the birds live in a run. What's left is a short sidebar with only your actual life on it, which is the difference between software you open every morning and software you abandon in March.

Every species you keep, on its own terms

29 of them come seeded — chickens, ducks, goats, pigs, rabbits, bees and the rest (the full list) — each with its own breeds, classifications and gestation (how long a pregnancy runs) or incubation length. If what you keep still isn't on the list, you add the species yourself. The one milk cow gets the same individual record as a hundred-head herd would: birth date, breed, health history, who her calf was.

And the birds don't have to be tracked one by one if that's not how you think about them. Chickens have an incubation setting like everything else has gestation, but for most homesteads the flock is a group and the eggs are the record that counts.

Eggs, milk and honey, priced as you go

Define your own production types with a unit and a per-unit value — eggs by the dozen, milk by the gallon, honey by the pound — and log them daily. Every entry is priced automatically.

After a year that answers a question most homesteads can only guess at: what the place actually produced, and roughly what it was worth. Not to file with anyone — just to know.

The chores that repeat, repeating themselves

• Recurring tasks — gather eggs, milk, check water — returning the moment you tick them off.
• A daily log for the things that don't fit a form, in whoever's words wrote it.
• Low-stock feed alerts, so the run doesn't happen on a Sunday.
• The garden from planting to the yield you actually got.
• Local weather from a ZIP code — no API keys, no accounts to wire up.

Everyone who lives there can use it

Add family or help as owner, manager or worker — enter an email address and the invite goes out for you. You pay per place, not per person, so everyone you invite is covered up to the seat count on the plan. Free seats one, so a second pair of hands starts at Homestead. If you keep a place at two addresses, both live under one login with a switcher in the sidebar.
