Your food, raised for you, nearby.

LocalRaised 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

  1. Reserve

    Pick a farm near you and reserve something real — an animal share, a tree, a piece of the harvest. Yours from day one.

  2. Your farmer raises it

    The farm does the raising, tending, and worrying. That's what they're best at.

  3. Follow the season

    Updates from the farm as your food grows — you'll know the field it stands in.

  4. 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.
