You wouldn't invest in a stock without looking at its price history. So why do we expect farmers to invest an entire season cultivating crops without knowing what the market actually demands?

A first look at FarmPlace. And we're getting ready for our first pilot in November!
We've been working on a simple idea: making it easier for farmers, buyers and agricultural service providers to connect.

Imagine if more of our yards grew tomatoes, onions, leafy vegetables and herbs instead of being purely ornamental. Home gardens won't solve hunger alone, but they can help households reduce food bills and improve food security.
What would you grow in your backyard?

No words. 🙂↕️
Imagine trading a pristine, water-thirsty green lawn for a thriving food forest and vegetable garden.
Replace the grass, grow your own food, and build real community self-sufficiency. 🌱🏡

To farm life 🥂
An old farmhouse, fresh-baked cookies, a basket of farm-fresh eggs, and quiet evenings under the stars. It might sound simple to some, but to anyone dreaming of a slower, simpler life, it sounds absolute perfection. 🌿✨

WE ARE SAVING OUR SOIL.
No more burning. No more erosion.
Tree leaves = natural mulch. Tree roots = soil grip.
We have reduced soil erosion by over 50% and we no longer need expensive chemical fertilizers to make soil alive. The trees feed the soil for us.
We live in a world where people would rather build housing estates than food estates.
Now you want to give people houses.
Which food will they eat?

Let's equip our children with better farming knowledge and skills to ensure continuous production of food throughout all generations!

So Why Is It Still So Hard to Find?
Across Africa, agricultural knowledge is scattered across WhatsApp groups, Facebook communities, YouTube documentaries, TikTok videos, WhatsApp channels...
