Company
Hedge started as the system Farm Creek Ltd needed and could not buy. Everything on this site exists because a pig died, a feed bag went unrecorded, or a month's books took a weekend to close — and then somebody wrote the screen that stopped it happening again.
Hedge · as it actually stands
August 2026
Where it came from
Farm Creek raises pigs and poultry at Karaba and grows banana at Kayonza. Two sites move feed, stock and cash between them constantly, and in a spreadsheet those transfers are where the money quietly disappears — counted twice on one side, not at all on the other. The shape below is the first thing Hedge was built to hold.
Kayonza
Not an architecture diagram — a legal and accounting one. The system's tables are laid out this way because the company is.
Why it exists Software written for a farm in Iowa assumes the connectivity, the currency and the paperwork of a farm in Iowa. Hedge was written on a farm in Rwanda, against the problems that farm actually has. Hedge · Kigali, Rwanda
How we work
Principles are cheap when they cost nothing. Each of these has a price we actually pay, so each one is written with the price attached.
No figure appears on this site or in a Hedge report without a traceable origin. Where Rwanda's own statistics disagree — and on poultry they disagree by a factor of six — we publish which source we chose and why.
The cost: several persuasive numbers are missing from this site, including a national egg price, because we could not stand behind any published figure for one.
A feed issue, a mortality, a sale: entered where it happens, by the person it happened to, and never re-keyed into accounts. The operational record and the accounting record are the same rows.
The cost: it makes the first month harder, not easier. Getting a farm onto Hedge means fixing the opening balances properly instead of starting fresh and pretending.
Every company on Hedge is isolated at the database level, not by a filter in the application that a bug could bypass. You can export your full record — ledger, animals, documents — at any time, in formats that open without us.
The cost: we cannot pool your production data into a benchmark product, which is the obvious second revenue line for a system like this.
There is no sign-up button on this site, and that is on purpose. Onboarding means taking on a real company's books, and we do it with the owner and the accountant in the room.
The cost: it does not scale the way a self-serve product does, and it means telling some people to wait.
Straight answers
One operation runs its real books on Hedge. If you need a system with a hundred reference customers, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.
There is no trial, no credit card form and no instant provisioning. Access is granted by us, after a conversation about your chart of accounts.
Pigs, layers, broilers and plantation crops are live. Cattle, fish, rabbit and bees are not — here is exactly what each would need.
And one thing we will not become: a system that guesses. Where Hedge cannot compute a number from the record — a weight nobody took, a price nobody entered — it shows the gap rather than an estimate dressed as a fact. A farm manager can act on a missing reading. A plausible invented one costs them a decision.
