Your food, raised for you, nearby.
Local Raised™ turns a nearby farm into your farm. Reserve something real — a quarter of a steer, your own apple tree, a share of the fall harvest — and a local farmer raises it for you.
Three ways to reserve
Freezer shares ❄️
- Reserve a quarter or half of a live animal, raised by a nearby farm
- Processed for you by a local processor after the season
- Pick up a freezer full of meat, cut and wrapped, all at once
Adopted harvests 🍎
- Your own apple tree, beehive, or maple taps
- Tended by the farmer through the season, with updates as it grows
- When it's ready, the harvest is yours
Harvest pledges 🌽
- Commit early to a share of a crop — a bushel of tomatoes, a fall storage box
- Your pledge means the farmer plants with certainty
- Pick up your share at harvest time
How it works
-
Reserve
Pick a farm near you and reserve something real — an animal share, a tree, a piece of the harvest. Yours from day one.
-
Your farmer raises it
The farm does the raising, tending, and worrying. That's what they're best at.
-
Follow the season
Updates from the farm as your food grows — you'll know the field it stands in.
-
Pick it up
Freezer shares come cut and wrapped from a local processor. Harvests come straight from the farm.
No land? No time? Can't anymore?
You don't have to homestead to know exactly where your food comes from.
-
No land
An apartment can't hold an apple tree or a steer. A farm ten miles away can — and it already does.
-
No time
Raising food well is a full-time job. Your farmer already has that job. You just claim the result.
-
Not able to anymore
If you grew up raising your own — or always meant to — this keeps that connection without the labor.
