Grow · track · cook · share
GrowYourOwn is a growing toolkit and a neighborhood food exchange in one place: crop guidance tuned to your climate, a kitchen inventory that keeps harvests from going to waste, and surplus swaps at vetted local businesses.
Pick a crop and we walk you through it — sowing dates from your own frost window, daily tasks that watch the weather, and help when something looks wrong.
Harvests land in your kitchen inventory with honest expiry windows. Recipes are written in grams, so nutrition is estimated automatically and portions scale by arithmetic.
Neighbors offer surplus produce to each other at swap events hosted by local businesses. No money, no points — a gift is a gift. Attending is always free.
Your standing grows from real activity — confirmed shares, completed grows, showing up — never from logging volume. Tiers are milestones, not points.
For local businesses
Every swap takes place at a local business that offered to host — a bakery, a cafe, a garden store. Hosting costs nothing, attending is always free, and nothing is bought or sold. If you run somewhere neighbors already walk to, you can put it on the map.
