At Delve, we believe farms deserve more visibility and stronger community connections. Our mission is to make it easier for people to learn where their food comes from—and to help farms earn income along the way.
Why List an Experience With Delve?
- New Revenue Stream: Turn what you already do—growing food, raising animals, teaching skills—into paid experiences.
- No Upfront Cost: Listing is free. We only earn when you do.
- Your Farm, Your Rules: You choose what to offer, when to offer it, and how much to charge. We're happy to share our perspective on the market if you're interested.
At Delve, we focus on experiences that include some kind of learning—whether it’s hands-on activities, storytelling, or simply showing how your farm works. You don’t need to run a formal class, but we’re especially interested in experiences that help visitors connect more deeply with food, farming, animals, or nature.
Two Ways to Accept Bookings
1. Request Booking
- Guests send a request for a date and time from your available windows (you can block out market days or other busy times).
- You review and approve before committing.
- Perfect for school trips, clubs, and private tours.
2. Instant Booking
- You publish set dates/times that people can book right away—no back-and-forth.
- You still control capacity and scheduling.
- Great for recurring tours or classes.
How We Earn (and Why It’s Low Risk)
- Listing is free—there are no setup or monthly fees.
- Delve takes a 20% commission on bookings, and we cover payment processing fees, so you keep things simple.
- Any required sales tax is collected from the customer, not you.

FAQ: Common Questions From Farms
Do I need insurance to list an experience?
Yes, farms should have general liability coverage. Some experiences may require adding Delve as an additional insured party. We’ll guide you through this if needed.
How do payouts work?
We process all payments through Stripe and you are paid via direct deposit.
What about cancellations?
You set your own policies within our guidelines. Our standard policy: visitor cancellations are non-refundable, but rescheduling is allowed when possible.
What if I want to block out dates?
No problem. For request bookings, you set the dates guests can request. For instant booking, you decide what dates/times to publish.
Who collects and remits sales tax?
You confirm whether sales tax applies to what you offer. If applicable, Delve collects sales tax from the customer at checkout. You remain responsible for reporting and remitting it on your regular tax return.
Is there a minimum number of experiences I need to offer?
No—start with one and see how it goes. Many farms begin with a single tour or class.
Ready to Give It a Try?
You can start with one experience and see how it goes. Listing is free and takes just a few minutes.
