How it works

Simple enough for a first-time gardener.

Whether you're buying fresh food or listing what you grew, Veggie Trade takes minutes to use.

For buyers

  1. Step 1

    Browse growers near you

    Filter by category, state, ZIP, or nationwide. Find exactly what's fresh right now.

  2. Step 2

    Message the grower

    Ask about pickup times, quantity, or growing practices — chat directly in the app.

  3. Step 3

    Buy or trade

    Pay securely for a sale, or propose a trade like a jar of honey for a dozen eggs.

For growers & sellers

  1. Step 1

    Post what you grew

    Add a photo, description, quantity, and location. Choose trade, sale, or both.

  2. Step 2

    Set pickup, delivery, or shipping

    You decide how buyers get it — local pickup, drop-off, or nationwide shipping.

  3. Step 3

    Build your grower reputation

    Every completed trade builds reviews and trust for your grower profile.
