Licenses & data credits
GrowYourOwn stands on excellent public data. Here’s what we use and what each source asks of us.
Public domain
Nutrition panels are computed from USDA FoodData Central. All nutrition shown in the product is estimated — computed from USDA data for the matched food, not measured from your actual harvest.
Open Database License (ODbL)
Packaged-food data comes from the Open Food Facts database and is attributed wherever it appears. We cache records unmodified alongside our own keys; the database itself remains available under the ODbL at openfoodfacts.org.
Commercial API
Weather data by Open-Meteo powers frost alerts, watering guidance, and growing-degree-day tracking.
Public domain
Hardiness zones derive from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map produced with the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University.
ODbL (map data)
The hub map renders map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, attributed on the map itself.
Commercial API
Photo identification of plants, pests, and diseases is AI-assisted, and results are always presented as likely matches for you to confirm — never as certainties.
