Our Tomato Handbook is yours when you donate your homegrown produce

Free when you Share Your Bounty

Homegrown food within reach.

Each year, roughly 1 in 10 people in the US experiences food insecurity, yet 40% of our food is wasted. 

At the same time, 1 in 3 US households grows food at home or in community gardens. 

The free Fresh Food Connect mobile app is helping thousands of home gardeners track and manage homegrown produce donations to support local hunger relief.
