A Division of
Jack's Crackers

Three Cats Bakery & Provisions is the software and community tools arm of Jack's Crackers — a small-batch artisan cracker business based in Keene, NH.

We make things with care: crackers, snacks, and occasionally software that solves real problems for real people. The Operations System was built to help modernize farmers market management — and we're sharing it freely because every market deserves good tools.

Want to adapt this for your market, or have an idea for what to build next? Come find us on Discord or drop us a note.

Enjoying the tools?
