YardSprout

YardSprout helps connect folks with local experts to help them grow food and sustain their land.

YardSprout’s web platform helps people & businesses find expert gardeners, landscapers, & farmers to help them cultivate land in sustainable ways. Finding local experts, resources, and skills to use your land in sustainable ways can be daunting. Whether you’re interested in growing food, finding pesticide-free lawn care, or raising chickens, overcoming the initial knowledge gap and getting started

can be the hardest part. Consumers face a myriad of choices and no simple source to evaluate local options. YardSprout aims to make it easier to succeed at sustainable land management. Professionals, including the growing industry of green landscapers, gardeners, and urban farmers, are building a livelihood out of this growing market without the business and marketing support that many other sectors benefit from. YardSprout aims to support experts, businesses and professionals in building and sustaining their livelihoods.
