Good food shouldn’t have to travel hundreds of miles.

I’m a farmer, and I’ve seen first-hand how unnecessary food miles can be. GroIT makes it easier to buy and sell fresh, locally grown produce right in your community.

More opportunity for growers. More value staying local.

Our story

Why I started GroIT

Helping local food travel less and rewarding the people who choose it.

A farmer’s perspective

Good food shouldn’t have to travel hundreds of miles.

I’m a farmer, and I’ve seen first-hand how unnecessarily far fresh food can travel. Produce can be grown locally, only to be transported hundreds of miles before it reaches people’s plates.

I created GroIT to make it easier to buy and sell fresh, locally grown produce in your own community — from farmers with surplus to home growers with a productive garden.

By choosing local, we can support growers, enjoy fresher food, reduce food miles and help build stronger communities.
