A site that connects growers with eaters, especially in dense areas. It's very easy to grow much more than you need in a garden, but it's not so easy to sell the surplusage.

I can buy vegetables and fruit at the store but it's not just-picked fresh. Why couldn't I buy right off the plant from a neighbor a few minutes' walk away?

Unfortunately, I believe that many places have laws (e.g. food safety regulations) that ban such informal growing and selling.
