MicroFarmPlanner started as a personal project by a group of passionate urban farmers who were tired of guessing their way through backyard gardening. We wanted data — real numbers on what to plant, when to plant it, how much it would cost, and what we could earn.
When we couldn't find tools designed specifically for small-scale, backyard growers, we built our own. What began as a simple spreadsheet became a suite of free online calculators. Word spread through local gardening communities, farmers markets, and social media groups, and soon thousands of backyard farmers across the country were using our tools to plan smarter and grow more profitably.
Today, MicroFarmPlanner serves a thriving community of over 5,000 micro farmers who share a common belief: that growing your own food isn't just a hobby — it's a path to healthier living, financial independence, and a more sustainable world. We remain committed to keeping our tools free, our content practical, and our community welcoming to growers at every level.
Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to empowering small-scale growers worldwide.
