If your garden has produced more tomatoes, zucchini, or apples than your household can use this season, HomeGrown gives that surplus somewhere to go besides the compost bin. It’s a simple online marketplace built for home gardeners with more fruit, vegetables, herbs, seedlings, or cut flowers than they need.

Listing takes a few minutes: add a photo, set your own price, and note what you have on hand. Nearby buyers — neighbours, small grocers, market stalls, cafés and restaurants — can find your listing and arrange local pickup or a short delivery. There’s no shipping involved, so produce moves quickly while it’s still fresh.

For growers, it means turning what would otherwise go to waste into a bit of extra income, while keeping good food in the neighbourhood rather than the bin. HomeGrown is starting out in Australia and Sweden, with more regions to follow as the platform grows.
