I’m very pleased to announce the upcoming Earth Day (April 22) launch of a new site called SharedEarth.com. It is a free website that connects land owners with gardeners and farmers. Land owners
share their land with someone they trust and get free fruits, vegetables and flowers. Gardeners and farmers get free access to land and the opportunity to grow what they love. The produce is shared between the two parties as they see fit. The result is a more efficient use of land and a greener planet.

Much like online dating sites, SharedEarth.com users create their own profile and find matches based on criteria such as location, years of gardening experience and the type of produce to be grown. Gardeners and farmers find the service useful because they are able to gain free access to land. Land owners find the service useful because they often lack the time, experience or commitment needed to cultivate a productive garden on their property.

Despite the fact that we haven’t officially launched yet, we already have over 19 million sq feet of land registered. (We couldn’t be happier.) 🙂
