Managing Your Harvest

Once you have begun selling products through Connect you can use the system to help organize and manage your harvest process.

Click the Harvest icon to go to the Harvest Page.

The first thing to do on the Harvest Page is click the calendar icon to specify which Harvest Day you want to work on.

Initially your available Harvest Days will be set automatically based on which days your market expects to receive your product. You can change which days you harvest for each of your market's distribution days. See our article on Harvest Days for more information about how they work and how to change them. Any Harvest Day that has products to be harvested and packed for customer orders will be highlighted green in the calendar. Days that have products to be harvested for inventory purchase orders are highlighted red.

Once you select a Harvest Day, all products that need to be harvested that day will appear in a list along with check boxes you can mark once they have been harvested. 

You can filter this list by market (if you participate in more than one), category, and by whether the product has already been harvested. The quantities listed here are in terms of Harvest Unit, which initially will be the same as the product's base unit. For example, the apples above have a harvest unit and base unit of a pound, so we know that 50 pounds need to be harvested total to make up all the bushels, half bushels, and single pounds that may have been ordered. You can redefine the harvest unit to match what your harvest crew uses. For example, we could set the apple harvest unit to be in terms of bushels so that the harvest crew doesn't need to try to harvest a certain number of pounds. See our article Editing Existing Products for instructions on changing your harvest units.

Once you've gotten the harvest list you want you can print it out using the icon on the top right. You can use the filters to create different harvest lists for different team members if needed.
