The More You Grow is a hyperlocal food system in your pocket. Find the seed library two streets over. Buy tomatoes from the gardener three doors down. Learn to grow your first bed from yogurt tubs and ten dollars in supplies. Every plot, porch sale, and seed swap stitches the block into a food system that doesn't depend on a 1,500-mile truck.
TMYG is built around salvaged containers, kitchen-scrap fertilizers, free seeds, and the neighbors three doors down who've been growing food for thirty years. It works on a windowsill, a balcony, or a backyard. And every plot, every porch sale, every seed swap stitches the block into a food system that doesn't depend on a 1,500-mile truck.
Seed libraries on porches. Community gardens behind churches. Free fridges outside coffee shops. Portland's food-resilience infrastructure has been here for decades, but most of it lives on flyers, neighborhood Slacks, and word of mouth. TMYG starts with the seed-library layer — every porch library across the metro, on the map, with hours and what's stocked. Community gardens, free fridges, and gardener pins are next.
A curriculum built around what you already have — yogurt tubs, kitchen scraps, salvaged 5-gallon buckets, free seeds from the library two blocks over. Seven chapters, in order. The first bed is the highest barrier; we put it on a windowsill for ten dollars.
Tomatoes still warm from the vine. Plant starts in 4-inch pots. Surplus from the gardener three doors down — before it ends up in the compost. Gardeners set their own prices, pick their own delivery zones, and keep 100% of delivery fees. The platform takes 8% from each side — published here, not buried in a help-center footnote.
TMYG is built for the long arc, not the quarterly arc. No ads. No data resold. No algorithm ranking the home feed. Just the people growing food on your block, the surplus they've got this week, and the network that's been there all along.
Free to use, no ads, no data resold. Built in Portland by people growing food on their own blocks — every dollar moves between you and a gardener on your block, not the produce aisle. Available now for iOS and Android.
