Bring the Harvest to Your Community

A group drop is one shared weekly pickup — at your church, workplace, gym, or block. Five neighbors make it real. Everyone saves on delivery, and pickup day becomes the best fifteen minutes of the week.

Members save

Group-drop pickup is always free — no fees, ever. One stop on your existing route: after service, after work, after the gym.

Community gathers

Pickup day turns into recipe swaps, crop-story conversations, and neighbors who know each other’s names. Food does what food does.

Hosts earn

Host a drop of 8+ members and your own weekly share is on us. We handle the drop-off, labels, and no-show follow-up — you provide a table and a door.

From Idea to First Drop

1

Propose your spot

Check your ZIP, then leave a name and the spot you have in mind.

2

Five neighbors join

Share your invite link. When five members commit, the drop activates.

3

We set it up

A short host consultation, a simple agreement, a pickup window that fits.

4

First harvest lands

Fresh boxes, name labels, crop stories — same day every week.

Host voice · awaiting consent

A host’s own words about what pickup day became on their block belong here — once they have said them and approved them in writing. We do not draft quotes for the people who open their doors to us.

Three Ways to Open the Door

Churches, workplaces, hospitals, gyms, schools, senior communities, housing communities, barbershops, salons — if people gather there, the harvest can land there.

For neighbors & congregations

Host a drop

Offer a table and a two-hour window once a week. We handle the rest — and hosts of 8+ members receive their weekly share free.

  • Drop-off, name labels and no-show follow-up
  • A printable flyer and your own invite link
  • Your weekly share free at eight members
  • A named contact for pickup-day texts

What hosting asks of you

  • A table, a door and a two-hour window on the same day each week.
  • Someone present for that window — you, a volunteer, or whoever staffs your front desk.
  • A text to your neighbors when the van is running late. Weather happens.
  • A short written agreement either side can end with two weeks’ notice.

What hosting never asks

  • No money. Hosting costs nothing, and hosts of eight or more receive their own share free.
  • No refrigeration, storage or equipment. Boxes arrive packed and leave the same hour.
  • No handling of payments, refunds or member questions — those come to us.
  • No exclusivity. Host with us and with anyone else you like.

Five neighbors. One table. Every week.

Every box supports food, knowledge, jobs, and land-rooted community power.
