Trust & safety
Veggie Trade is a community of real growers. A little common sense goes a long way — here's what we recommend for every buyer and seller.
Use in-app messages until you're ready to meet. It gives both sides a record of the conversation.
For local pickup, meet at a farmers' market, coffee shop, or busy parking lot — not a private home if you don't know the person yet.
A listing should include real photos, honest quantity, and clear pickup or shipping details.
Secure payments give buyers protection and sellers a clear record. Avoid off-platform payment requests.
Growers with completed trades, reviews, and verified profiles are your safest bet, especially for shipping.
If a listing or message feels suspicious, report it. We review reports and remove bad actors quickly.
