Hyperlocavore - A free yard sharing community

Join us to find or start a yard share in your town. CSAs and community gardens fill up fast. Food is expensive! Grow together!

New Here?



We share yards, time, tools, seeds, potlucks, fruit, vegetables, stories, music, wisdom...but mostly we share our garden space!

Bookmark and Share

Are you a digger with no dirt or a gardener with lots of space but no time? A neighbor who hopes to build a neighborhood? A newbie in town in need of friends?


What we want to see: healthy kids who love the smell of dirt, blocks with foreclosed homes becoming vibrant neighborhoods again, tables full of delicious safe food at costs we can all afford, and neighbors who become real friends.

Press Coverage

"...the new social network "hyperlocavore," which blends bottom-up collaboration with food production. It's an example of peer-to-peer agriculture, and it's a pretty neat concept. Hyperlocavore just started, so you may not find yard sharing pals in your neighborhood -- so be the first. The founder of hyperlocavore wrote to me, saying that she thought this was a pretty "worldchanging" idea. I agree. Check 'em out."

Everyone needs to eat, why not grow your own food. Connect with the rich fertile soils of Indiana and help our historically conservative state become a leader in the local organic movement. We can share everything from shovels to seedlings.
