Flower Farm Base Design


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

I’m new and just learning Airtable. I know that other flower farmers use Airtable already, but I haven’t found many resources about how exactly their Workspace is set up. I’d love some input regarding keeping track of items such as a master crop list, year to year crops, maps, task calendars, inventory, clients, products, newsletters, vendors, etc. It doesn’t necessarily have to be flower specific as the veg community has a ton of overlap.

This is more workspace design than base design, because I probably wouldn’t advise putting all that into one base. This is kind of a huge question and it makes it hard to provide specific answers.

That said, a good place to start is looking at Airtable’s templates for some of your more universal needs, like a CRM or inventory management. What I’d suggest is starting with one of those uses and templates, which you’ll need to modify a little for your own purposes. In that process you’ll get a better feel for the software as you’ll need to custom build a little more for more specific use cases like crop rotations and whatnot.

Hey ​@ashmg 

As ​@DisraeliGears01 mentioned, you could check some templates here.

You could however start building out a basic version of what you need from scratch rather than using templates, hit roadblocks, watch youtube videos (starting my channel slowly), read community posts, and iterate as from there. 

Templates are great, to get a sense of what database architecture is being used on the back.

I’d be happy to show you around best practices and suggested architectures for your project. If interested, just feel free to schedule a call using this link! Hope to hear from you!
