For small agricultural producers in the U.S.

Know a batch is at risk before you lose it

Vinya turns the harvest, inventory, and sales records you already keep — on paper, in spreadsheets, or in a system — into early warnings, so spoilage gets caught before it happens, not after.

The problem

Spoilage happens before anyone notices

Most small producers already track their operations, but usually after the fact — by the time a problem shows up, the loss has already happened. The result: a batch is lost, a harvest is overproduced, or a cost is discovered too late to act on it.

30–40% of the U.S. food supply is lost or wasted every year (USDA)
$218B estimated annual cost of wasted food in the U.S. — about 1.3% of GDP (ReFED, cited by EPA)
1.9M farms and ranches in the U.S.; 95% are family farms (USDA NASS, 2022 Census of Agriculture)

The platform

Four ways to see the risk before the cost

Each module compares a producer's current operation against their own historical data. As that history accumulates, Vinya is designed to apply machine learning models trained on it, to spot patterns a spreadsheet or a static report would miss. If you're already tracking data digitally, Vinya works with what you have. If you're not yet, we help set that up as part of getting started.

Spoilage risk alerts

Compares how long a batch has sat in a production stage against the expected historical range, and flags it before the risk turns into a loss.

Harvest-to-market yield tracking

Links what was harvested by field or lot to what actually reached market, pointing out where more product than expected is being lost.

Demand-aligned production planning

Compares planned production volume against actual sales demand, so producers don't make more than the market will absorb.

Margins by product line

Calculates the real cost per unit — raw material, labor, overhead — so producers know which line is actually turning a profit.


How it starts

Built alongside the producer, not from a distance

An on-site visit to document how the production cycle is managed today and how information currently gets recorded — whether that's a notebook, a spreadsheet, or a system.

Configuration of the first version on top of that real data, starting with the module that matters most immediately.

If a digital system is already in place, Vinya sits on top of it without replacing anything. If not, setting one up is part of the same process.
