Home Grown Collective is a nonprofit platform built to connect local food producers, gardeners, homesteaders, and consumers. Our tools help communities organize, trade, and educate locally, creating a more responsible and transparent food system for everyone.
Home Grown Collective provides free organizational tools to help communities grow stronger food networks. Our platform allows you to buy and sell local food directly and commission-free, share local announcements within a 50-mile radius, organize pickup and trade groups, promote your business through our nonprofit network, and share updates to social media directly from your dashboard.
We’re not just a marketplace, we’re a hub for connection, education, and collaboration between local producers, consumers, and the efforts that support them.
Home Grown Collective is designed for everyone involved in local food.
Can find local food sources, organize food or education groups, and support a responsible food system in their region.
Homesteaders, gardeners, and small farms can connect with local consumers, manage pickups, sell direct online with Stripe, and share announcements across platforms without commissions.
Educators and agricultural services can increase visibility, connect with local producers, and help strengthen community-based food efforts.
Local tools create real impact.
Create your profile by signing up as a consumer and adding your business if applicable, then wait for quick approval. Use Google Maps to find farms, homesteads, or food-related efforts within your area or across the U.S. Finally, buy, sell, educate, or promote responsibly all while helping your local food system thrive.
Home Grown Collective works on both web and mobile for easy access wherever you are.
Home Grown Collective operates as a nonprofit organization with a clear mission to reinvest in the people who make local food possible.
The platform is free for everyone to use. Businesses can upgrade to the Premiere Program for $35 per month to gain extra visibility. Eighty-five percent of the remaining quarterly revenue, after operational costs, is donated back to local food producers and programs through our Reimbursement initiative.
We don’t process products or payments directly all transactions occur through Stripe, a secure third-party processor.
The Premiere Business Program helps local producers and small businesses grow their reach. For $35 per month, members gain top placement in local search results, cross-promotion at community events, and features on Home Grown Collective’s online channels.
Premiere members also help fund our reimbursement program, giving back to the producers who strengthen regional food systems.
Home Grown Collective is designed for everyone involved in local food.
