Who's behind Ranch Pickup
I'm Justin Brinson. I grew up on a cattle ranch in Central Texas, and a lot of my friends still ranch.
I've spent the last 25+ years designing and building software systems that automate the busywork and simplify the day-to-day, moving from early process automation to full business systems, architecture, and the code that runs them.
Watching ranchers handle beef sales with texts, spreadsheets, and a notebook, I started with a simple inventory system for one ranch. Ranch Pickup has grown into an inventory and sales platform with an online store built for the unique challenges of selling beef and other farm products directly to consumers—handling inventory, orders, invoices, pickups, scheduling, and marketing so ranchers can sell directly and keep every dollar.
What Ranch Pickup does
Ranch Pickup gives a farm or ranch its own online store. Buyers order ahead and pick up at the farm, a town stop or a farmers market. They pay you with PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, cash or check, and you see the day's pickup list.
Behind the store sit the parts a direct-sale farm needs: inventory, invoices, pickup times, newsletters and weekly posts written from what is true at your store.
Who it's for
- Ranches that sell beef or pork by the whole or half, with a deposit and a final invoice (Starter plan and up), or by the cut from a freezer (Ranch plan).
- Farms that sell eggs, chickens, produce or honey by the dozen, the jar or the each, on the Free or Small plan.
- Beekeepers who sell honey for pickup, and ship jars from the Starter plan.
See it for yourself in the demo stores, or read answers about selling beef, eggs and honey online.
How we charge
There is a Free plan for as long as you like, no setup fee, and never a cut of your sales. Every price is on the pricing page, and the comparison with Barn2Door, Local Line and GrazeCart shows theirs, dated.
