Getting Started
What Is Harvest Hub?
Harvest Hub helps people discover locally-produced fresh food, connect with growers, find selling locations, and participate in local food communities. Whether you are looking for local food or growing it yourself, Harvest Hub makes it easier to participate in the local food system.
Getting Started
Why Was Harvest Hub Created?
Harvest Hub was created to make local food easier to discover and easier to share. Many growers have fresh food available but struggle to be found. Many buyers want local food but do not know where to look. Harvest Hub helps bring those connections together while encouraging more people to participate in local food production, regardless of scale.
Getting Started
Is Harvest Hub Free To Use?
Yes. Buyers can browse local food, growers, Farm Stands, maps, and selling locations for free. Growers can create a Farm Stand and participate in Harvest Hub at no cost during beta.
For Growers
Who Can Create A Farm Stand?
Anyone growing, producing, or sharing local food. Harvest Hub welcomes balcony gardeners, backyard gardeners, hobby growers, market gardeners, beekeepers, flower growers, orchards, farm stands, commercial farms, and local producers. If you grow local food, even on a small scale, Harvest Hub can help people discover it.
Future Features
Why Doesn't Harvest Hub Focus On Online Ordering?
Harvest Hub is focused first on participation and discovery. The goal is to help buyers find local food, help growers become easier to discover, and encourage more people to participate in local food production and sharing. Ordering, checkout, and delivery are not the current focus.
