What We Do

ProducePay lives at the intersection of Technology, Agriculture, and Finance. We work with hundreds of farmers, distributors, and retailers to modernize the supply chain and place trust at the center of every transaction. We provide financing, pricing analytics, a produce marketplace, and a whole suite of tools to help our customers make better decisions faster, which lets them focus on what they do best: feeding the planet!

Bringing technology to a traditional pen and paper industry is hard, but we’ve been able to do it by building an incredible team. We focus on providing value to our customers and constantly checking our assumptions to make sure we’re delivering a product that our customers will love using. We’re constantly learning, growing, and improving to create the best work environment possible, and we love to bring on new team members who are ready to teach and learn!

Finally, we are proud to be a diverse workplace and will give consideration for employment regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Why Work With Us

ProducePay builds products that help people and revolutionize an industry that is slow to adopt new technology. We do this by creating a fantastic team of people that love to teach and be taught, to learn and grow, and treat others with respect. We expect a lot from our team, but we also prioritize supporting our employees to accomplish their goals
