About Growplot
Farming intelligence
rooted in wisdom
Growplot is an AI-powered platform for regenerative farm design and management. We combine permaculture principles with modern data intelligence to help land stewards design thriving, biodiverse food systems — from a backyard herb spiral to a multi-hectare food forest.
The problem
Knowledge shouldn't be lost between generations
Regenerative farming is one of the most powerful tools we have for addressing climate change, restoring biodiversity, and building food security. But the knowledge required — which species thrive together, how to read your soil, when to plant for your specific microclimate — has traditionally been passed down through decades of hands-on experience.
New growers face a steep learning curve. Experienced stewards struggle to document and share what they know. And the fragmented tools available — spreadsheets, forums, books — don't connect the dots between your specific land, climate, and goals.
Growplot bridges this gap. We encode traditional farming wisdom into intelligent software that understands your land and helps you make decisions with confidence — whether you're planting your first fruit tree or designing a 10-acre food forest.
Our principles
What we believe
Regenerative by design
Every recommendation is rooted in permaculture principles — building soil health, increasing biodiversity, and creating self-sustaining food systems rather than extractive monocultures.
Traditional knowledge, modern tools
We encode generational farming wisdom from 18 distinct regional knowledge bases spanning 30 Köppen climate zones — from Mediterranean terraces to Nordic food forests.
Data stewardship
Your farm data is yours. We protect your land profiles, species selections, and growing records with the same care you give your soil. No selling, no sharing, no compromises.
Community-rooted
Built with and for land stewards — smallholders, homesteaders, community gardeners, and permaculture designers who believe food systems should work with nature, not against it.
Growing catalog
138 species, 350+ heritage varieties, and 586 companion relationships — continuously expanded with contributions from our global community of growers and researchers.
Accessible intelligence
Core land analysis and species matching is free forever. We believe everyone should have access to the intelligence needed to grow food regeneratively, regardless of budget.
Our story
Built by growers, for growers
Growplot started from a simple frustration: planning a food forest on paper is incredibly complex. You need to know companion relationships, spacing requirements, light needs, soil preferences, and climate compatibility — for dozens of species at once.
We built the tool we wished existed. An intelligent canvas that understands permaculture principles, knows your climate zone, and warns you before you make expensive mistakes. A system that grows smarter as the community contributes knowledge from their own land.
Today, Growplot supports 138 species across 30 Köppen climate zones with 18 regional knowledge bases — and we're just getting started. Every new grower who joins makes the system better for everyone.
