HR software for farms and agritourism
Agritourism businesses juggle a little bit of everything: u-pick fields, farm markets, events, school tours and festivals, often with a different crew for each season. August gives family farms one place to hire, onboard, schedule and communicate with every seasonal employee, without asking anyone to learn enterprise HR software.
What makes staffing farms and agritourism hard
Several seasons in one year
Spring u-pick, summer camps and fall festivals each bring a new wave of hiring.
Small office, big crew
Usually one or two people handle hiring, paperwork, scheduling and payroll for everyone.
Staff spread across the farm
Your team is in fields, barns and markets, not in front of a computer.
Seasonal staff come back
You want returning employees to skip the paperwork they already filled out last year.
One platform for your whole season

“August has been wonderful for our farm! It is extremely user friendly and a huge improvement from what we have had in the past.”
“August is an amazing product for hiring, onboarding and communicating with employees. Their customer service is unmatched! The platform is very easy to learn and use. Give them a try, you'll be amazed at all the features to manage your season staffing needs!”
“August has exceeded our expectations in the area of customer service. If you are trying to fit your needs into an existing software, think about using August instead. August has taken suggestions and made immediate changes to fit our needs. Plus, the software has been reliable and easy to use! Cannot recommend it enough.”
“August has been a great option for us as an agritourism operator. The platform is built with seasonal businesses that can handle a few to 100s of employees. It may not be a perfect system but they are sure trying to be. It has so many awesome features that allow us to hire, on board and manage employees through out the season. The owners are always great at responding and helping you through problems and they really care about making the system better.”

Questions from farms and agritourism
Can we use August all year, not just during the season?
Yes. Your $400 annual platform fee includes year-round access, and the first 15 active employees or August ATS hires each month are included, so off-season months usually cost nothing extra.
Do employees need a computer?
No. Applications, onboarding, schedules, team chat and time off requests all work on a phone, either in the browser or in the August Mobile app.
Can we give employees perks or discounts?
Yes. The offers feature lets you give coupons to specific teams, which employees redeem in the app.
Which payroll systems does August work with?
August integrates with QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online and Square Payroll, and exports Excel hours reports for any other payroll provider.
