Welcome to Growzie
“Growzie gives people permission to be neighbors again.”
A gentle, local platform for sharing garden abundance, homemade food, and practical wellness wisdom — neighbor to neighbor.
Growzie helps neighbors meet through food first—so trust can grow naturally.
What is Growzie?
Growzie is a community-powered platform that helps neighbors share:
Backyard-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and eggs
From-scratch kitchen creations
Garden know-how and seasonal tips
Simple, real-life wellness ideas
It’s where extra tomatoes become conversations,
and where small exchanges grow into real connection.
Why Growzie exists
In many neighborhoods today, garage doors open and close without a wave.
Food goes to waste.
People feel disconnected — even when they live right next door to one another.
Growzie exists to quietly restore what was lost:
Familiarity
Trust
Sharing
Neighborliness
Not through debate.
Not through politics.
Not through social media performance.
Just through food, kindness, and repeated small exchanges.

What Naturally begins to happen
As people share through Growzie:
Trust grows faster than features
Waste turns into gratitude
Kindness multiplies
Tools get shared
Recipes travel
Help shows up
Neighborhoods soften
These aren’t “app features.”
They are the natural results of people seeing each other again.
Our Approach to wellness
Growzie doesn’t prescribe.
We don’t push products.
We don’t preach.
We invite curiosity.
Neighbors share:
What’s helped them
What they’ve tried
What they’re exploring
Real wellness grows in kitchens and gardens — not headlines.
From the founder
After 27 years working in over 5,000 homes, I saw something consistent:
People wanted to share.
They wanted to connect.
They just lacked an easy, natural way to do it.
Growzie grew out of backyards and kitchens — not boardrooms.
— Mark Anderson, Founder
The Bigger Idea (path back to neighborliness)
Growzie doesn’t try to change people’s beliefs.
It gives them a shared routine.
Food is universal.
Health is universal.
Kindness is universal.
When people engage in something universal, everything political becomes smaller.
Growzie creates a third space:
Not home.
Not work.
Not the internet.
A quiet bridge back to each other.
