Currently validating on a working farm

Works in the field. Syncs when it can.

Why we built this

The real problems

Not theoretical inefficiencies. Problems that cost time, money, and compliance every season.

01

The capture gap

Work happens in the field. Records happen later. Details disappear in between.

02

The connectivity reality

Farms don't stop when the network drops. Most software does.

03

The compliance burden

Fuel audits, spray records, traceability. Reconstructing history later is how audits fail.

Practical design

Designed for decision-makers

Fallow is built for farms controlled by one or a small number of responsible operators.

  • No staff logins required

    Supervisors log work. Workers don't need phones.

  • Observations stay observations

    Capture what you see without workflow overhead.

  • Work is recorded when it happens

    No pre-scheduling fiction. Reality only.

This reflects how farms are actually run.

Core capabilities

What Fallow tracks

Everything exists to answer one question:

What happened, where, and what state is the farm in now?

  • Fields and operational groups
  • Activities and labour
  • Fuel and equipment usage
  • Crop phases and cycles
  • Notes, observations, and field memory
  • Compliance-ready records

Built in production

Built on a working farm

Fallow is being validated on a 460-hectare diversified operation in KwaZulu-Natal.

Sugarcane. Avocados. Macadamias. Timber.
Seasonal labour. Poor signal. Real audits.

Every feature exists because the farm needed it.

Design constraints

Principles

01

Offline is normal

The app works fully without signal. Always.

02

History must not change

Records are immutable. Corrections are logged, not hidden.

03

Explicit beats clever

No magic. You control what gets recorded.

Early access opens once validation is complete.
