The Collective Grower
Growing communities near you

Grow together,
share together.

A social network for people who grow food. Share what you're growing, split the crops with your neighbours, and leave your surplus somewhere everyone can collect it.

How it works

Join a community

Find growers within 30 miles and ask to join their plot group.

Claim your crop

Each community shares out crops so nobody doubles up.

Share the harvest

Drop surplus at a Share Zone — a pub, shop or hall.

Learn as you grow

Crop guides tied to real posts from people growing them now.

Community Share Zones

Nobody shares their home address. Communities pick a trusted local spot — the pub, the post office, the village hall — and leave surplus food there for other members to collect.
