Invest in the future of local food and sustainable farming. Invest in GrownBy.
We are thrilled to announce that GrownBy is now accepting investments on Wefunder — the leading platform for community-driven crowdfunding.
As a farmer- and employee-owned cooperative, we believe in building a food system that works for everyone — especially small farms. Now, you can own a piece of that future.
Invest today for just $100 and help us grow the first farmer-owned marketplace for local food. Together, we can put more farm-fresh food on more dinner tables — and give small farms the tools they need to thrive.
Want to be part of a more sustainable, farmer-owned future? Invest on Wefunder now!
Invest on Wefunder now — we’d love for you to be part of our journey. For as little as $100, you can invest in a more sustainable, farmer-owned future.
Why should I invest in GrownBy?
GrownBy is built on shared ownership, transparency, and a mission to rebuild a food system that truly works for and supports small farmers across North America.
Your investment helps us improve our features, feed more communities, and build a better future for local food — and directly supports the small farmers who make it possible.
Since GrownBy's launch in 2020, we’ve helped over 900 farmers deliver farm fresh foods to more dinner tables in all 50 states (including D.C., Puerto Rico, and now Canada!). We're dedicated to strengthening local food economies far beyond building better tools for farmers to simplify their sales.
We regularly collaborate with a number of organizations and nonprofits to strengthen our community, and continue to put our farmers first with innovative app updates, educational workshops, and other community projects that improve not only the future of our company and product, but local food economies.
When you invest in GrownBy, you directly contribute to the success of small and mid-sized farms while helping local food systems, economies, and individual health thrive. Invest now.
Why is it important to invest in a farmer cooperative?
The industrial food system prioritizes efficiency and profit at the expense of farmers and communities.
When shoppers buy food at a grocery store, farmers typically take home just 17 cents on the dollar. The other 83 cents are lost to middlemen.
But on GrownBy, farmers keep at least 95% of every sale. That keeps the money in the local community, and the farmers who feed them.
How do we do this? Unlike our competitors, GrownBy is a cooperative, owned by farmers and employees — not venture capitalists looking for a quick profit. Instead, we’re backed by farmers, grants, and individuals who care about the future of local food.
Instead of extracting profits from farmers, GrownBy reinvests in them to help small farms not just survive, but thrive, and ensure that fresh, local food is accessible to every community for decades to come.
