farmOS is a web-based application for farm management, planning, and record keeping. It is developed by a community of farmers, developers, researchers, and organizations with the aim of providing a standard platform for agricultural data collection and management.
The farmOS server is built on top of Drupal, which makes it modular, extensible, and secure. The farmOS Field Kit app provides offline data entry in a native Android/iOS app, and as a progressive web app (PWA) at https://farmOS.app.
Both are licensed under the GNU General Public License, which means they are free and open source.
To learn how to use farmOS, refer to the User Guide. For more information, visit the farmOS Community Forum and read the Frequently Asked Questions.
You can contribute to the project by making a donation or contributing in other ways.
