Messages are a feature in GrownBy to help farmers and customers connect directly and keep a record of these conversations.

How to Send a Message as a Customer

From the farm's profile page, select Send Message. A popup will provide a space to send a message.

Type the message to your customer and hit send. This customer will show in your messages list, along with the text of this message. You can respond to the thread and review messages via the messages page.
