Grow · Cook · Share

Grow food you'll actually harvest — and share what you can't eat.

Step-by-step guidance for your climate, a kitchen that tracks every harvest, and neighbors to share the extra with.

Free account · Growing toolkit $5.00 a month or $50.00 a year · Nothing charged at signup

Every crop guide is checked against university extension and USDA sources.

How it works

  1. Pick a crop and your ZIP

    We set sowing dates from your own frost dates, not a national calendar.

  2. Get told what to do, when

    Daily tasks adjust to your weather. Snap a photo when something looks wrong.

  3. Harvest, cook, share

    Log what you pick, cook it before it spoils, and bring the extra to a neighborhood swap.

What the growing toolkit does

Guided grows

A growing plan that knows your weather

Choose from tomatoes to thyme. Each crop comes with a stage-by-stage plan, watering and feeding tuned to your climate, and plain-language steps — with the numbers behind them when you want them.

Plant doctor

Something wrong? Take a photo.

Photograph a spotted leaf or a chewed stem and get the likely pest or disease, how to tell it from its lookalikes, and what to try first — gentlest fix first.

Your kitchen

Nothing you grew goes to waste

Harvests go straight into your kitchen inventory with a nudge before they spoil. Recipes scale to what you picked and show nutrition automatically.

Share the extra with your neighborhood

Swaps happen at local businesses that host them — a bakery, a cafe, a garden store. Anyone can come and take home what neighbors have grown. Receiving is free; offering your own surplus is part of the growing toolkit.

No money, no points — a gift is a gift.

For local businesses

Swaps need somewhere to happen

Every swap is hosted by a local business — a bakery, a cafe, a garden store. Hosting is free, and no money changes hands at a swap. If you run a place neighbors already walk to, you can put it on the map.

Questions

What does it cost?

Joining is free, and so is everything in the neighborhood: browsing hubs, RSVPing to swaps, receiving shares, messaging and the feed. The growing toolkit is $5.00 a month or $50.00 a year. You subscribe inside the app after creating a free account, and you can cancel any time from settings.

What if there's no swap hub near me?

The growing toolkit works anywhere. Leave your ZIP and we'll email you when a hub opens nearby — or invite a local business to host one.

I only have a balcony or a windowsill. Will this work?

Yes. Every crop guide says whether it grows in a container and how big the pot needs to be, and many crops can be grown indoors.

I've never grown anything. Is this for me?

It's built for beginners. Each crop is rated for difficulty, and the daily tasks tell you what to do in plain language. More experienced growers can switch to master mode for the full numbers.

Where does the growing advice come from?

Every crop guide is written against university extension and USDA sources. Where sources disagree, we say so rather than picking one quietly.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from settings. Plans renew automatically until you cancel.
