The project

A local food system that starts with a map.

Harvest starts by mapping what is already growing nearby, then helps people organize around harvestable plants, planting projects, and local food abundance.

01

Register plants

Record harvestable plants before the fruit, nuts, and berries are ready.

02

Build capacity

Invite plant spotters, harvesters, transport help, area coordinators, and hosts.

03

Fund planting

Start with Paw Paw Revival and support new local planting projects as they open.
