Representative harvest photography — the harvest as you'll see it at market, not Indie Harvesters itself.
Garden Crawl
Add it to your route, stamp it when you stand there — right here, no detours.
Lend a Hand
Real garden work, beside the gardener — pick one, do it in real life, check it off, and keep the skill.
Checked off by you, on your word — the gardener may show you first, so say hi.
Garden Crawl Visualizer™
Show the next visitor what it's like — one slow walk, gate to far beds, right from your phone.
Every walk is reviewed before it appears, and the garden's farmer can take it down at any time.
Shared by neighbors to the Garden Porch, in their own words — check-offs themselves stay private.
Help complete this garden
See what's growing here? Add it — the farmer confirms before it shows.
You helped, you harvested — now cook it. A chef who serves this garden can teach you to cook what you picked at their table, or build a dinner around it.
From this garden
Start a dinner brief with Indie Harvesters already in it — the brief carries the farm's name to the desk, and the farm hears a dinner is being planned around its harvest. Three steps, priced as you go.

The Harvest Card
Paul's list · updated Oct 29, 2026 · synced from his own availability sheet
This list syncs from Paul's own availability sheet — when he updates the sheet, this page follows. His crops, his quantities, his prices. Photos are representative harvest photography.
Representative photoFirst freeze ends these — Hempstead freezes earlier than Houston, and Paul grows like he knows it.
Representative photoCut through the week. The hard greens (mustard, kale, collards) shrug off a light frost — a hard freeze can still damage them.
Representative photoThe storage bench — pulled as the week asks for it.
Representative photoSmall quantities, cut to order.
Representative photoEggs gathered through the week; honey from the farm's own hives.

This is Paul's live list — what he's picking this week, at his prices, in his quantities. Sourcing from Indie Harvesters opens soon, right here: Paul is confirming his side first, and the moment he gives the word, this card becomes the order card.
The card is the farm's own list, shown as they keep it. Sourcing opens when the farmer gives the word — until then the desk holds any request for this farm, and nothing is promised on the farm's behalf.
