How it works
The platform
Our aim is to build autonomous, self-organising communities on the UpHarvest platform. Once you sign up, you can communicate directly with local farmers in your area and buy directly from them.
Buying from local farmers
Some farmers deliver weekly. Some do not offer delivery, which means that you can pick up your orders from their farms - this gives you the wonderful opportunity to see where your food comes from and connect with local farmers on a more personal level.
Buying from local distributors
You may also buy from local distributors who represent local farmers and community gardens. Distributors may offer same-day or next-day delivery, within specific time slots.
Events, farm experiences and farmers' markets
You can also buy tickets to events and farm experiences on UpHarvest and access announcements about farmers' markets in your area - keep an eye out for the latest updates.
Supporting local organic farmers during the COVID-19 outbreak
We created UpHarvest to encourage organic farming and increase access to organic products and services because we believe these have an important role to play in making our planet a liveable place for future generations.
With that in mind, and given the manner in which the prevailing situation has unfolded in recent weeks and the toll this crisis may have on organic farmers, we are suspending the UpHarvest service fee with immediate effect until further notice. All items listed on the platform will incur no cost to the farmer, with the exception of Stripe’s payment processing fee.
