Farmbook is the farm management app for orchards and fruit farms. Plan the work, see what your crew did, and keep every tree, block, cost and conversation in one place, even where there's no signal. Built for durian, avocado, mango, citrus, olive, sweet cherry and pineapple growers, and the teams who work their land. PLAN THE WORK • Create tasks for the whole farm, a block or single trees, and assign them to people or crews • See today's work, this week and what's overdue on one board • Follow progress tree by tree as your crew logs work • Add reminders to activities so nothing slips KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FIELD • Log spraying, fertilising, pruning, irrigation and harvests in a few taps • Add photos, videos and voice notes.
