For plant & microgreen growers

Inventory that grows while you sleep.

Your stock multiplies — a mother plant throws props, a 1020 flat fills with plugs, a microgreen tray goes seed-to-clamshell in ten days. Living inventory needs books that understand grow-out stages and the occasional flat that damps off. MadeKeeper tracks plants as the crop cycles they are, from prop to sale.

The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.

No card to start. Use it free through the pilot, and lock the $19/mo founding rate for as long as you stay.

How MadeKeeper maps to your racks

Mothers and propsMother plants are assets; the props they throw log in at nearly zero material cost — pot, soil, and label. Your best margin in the greenhouse, finally visible.
Grow-out as work in progressA flat of rooted cuttings eight weeks from sellable is WIP, not stock. Counts move stage to stage, and losses along the way stay in the math.
Microgreens on the cycleSeed and medium per 1020 tray, seven to fourteen days, cut to clamshells by the ounce. Each tray's yield and cost track per cycle — restaurant standing orders included.
Markets, standing orders, and plant swapsMarket tables, weekly restaurant deliveries, and online sales each run their own channel, with the market math on every booth day.

One flat of props, to the penny

Say you pot up 15 pothos props from a mother:

  • 15 4-inch pots @ 22¢$3.30
  • Potting mix, 15 pots$2.70
  • Labels and sticks$0.60
Flat cost — 44¢ per plant$6.60

Eight weeks of grow-out later they sell at $8 each — $7.56 clear per plant before fees, times fifteen. The mother plant, as usual, does not invoice you.

Selling live plants usually means a nursery license and inspections in most states — MadeKeeper keeps the sales and source records that paperwork asks about, in the app instead of a clipboard in the greenhouse.

Straight about what's live

Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Questions plant and microgreen growers ask

How does MadeKeeper handle plants that are not ready to sell?

Grow-out is work in progress: a flat in week three counts as WIP, not sellable stock. When it graduates to the sales rack, it moves — and the flat that damped off logs as the loss it was.

Can I track microgreen trays?

Yes — each tray cycle logs seed and medium in, clamshell ounces out, on a 7-14 day loop. Standing orders draw from the cycle, and you'll know your real cost per clamshell.

What do props actually cost?

Pot, soil, and label — the plant material from your own mother is effectively free. MadeKeeper shows that margin honestly, which is why props deserve more rack space than most growers give them.
