A Look Inside HarvestNS
Interactive Farm Discovery
Use our dynamic feed to locate farms near you. Filter by county, product types, and delivery options to find exactly what you’re craving. Geolocation distance calculations make planning your market route effortless.
The Community Feed
Stay in the loop with the “Updates” tab. See live, rich-text posts and photos from local producers. Know exactly when the strawberries are ready or if a market stand is selling out fast.
Direct Chat
Cut out the middleman. Our secure, real-time messaging allows you to chat directly with farmers to ask questions, request bulk orders, or confirm pickup times.
A Note on Our Beta Phase
HarvestNS is currently in a closed beta phase as we onboard our founding farm partners across Nova Scotia. Although you can download our app on the App Store, our public launch will occur once our local directory is robust and ready for the community. Thank you for your patience as we build this grassroots utility.
