About Us

Our Mission

Develop Sustainable Agriculture Practices that reduce water usage, carbon emissions and the amount of land that is needed to farm. Connect neighbors and farmers to end global food waste and world hunger. Educate the planet with quality programming targeting all aspects of human and planetary health. Employ world experts in biology, agriculture, chemistry, physics and social science to help us solve these issues.

Expected Outcomes

1. Reduce food waste- 50% of the food in America is wasted;
2. Create a new marketplace for farmers and food sellers/restaurants to interact and develop relationship;
3. Connect people through a new social media platform that supports free-speech but lacks malice; and,
4. Encourage the disintegration of large-scale mono-cropping agriculture by community driven initiatives.

The Pillars of Produce of Love

CropHopping and CropShopping – The CropHop app will allow local residents, backyard farmers, hobby farmers, family farmers, restaurants, food banks/nonprofit organizations, grocery stores, and a host of other groups to have a virtual marketplace whereby excess foods can be either sold or donated. This platform will be funded through transactional activity on the site

Farm2ForkTV – Farm to Fork TV is our internet news/blog/video education site that will be a highly interactive platform that encourages local interaction to increase global interactions. User generated content will be the focus, but a number of blogs, video series, and news articles will be written by the CropHop Staff. The centerpiece of these staff-generated pieces will be “The Farmers Daughter” starring Amanda Flowers, the founder of CropHop. This series will show Amanda’s journey to conquer the world with her love through sharing her own learning experiences to becoming a sustainable human being. Other topics will include nutrition, climate-based farming practices, health, botany, animal husbandry, and more. Farm2ForkTV will be funded through ad revenue.

Local Grants to Local Farmers – Proceeds obtained through donations and a percentage of monies generated through CropHopping will be used to fund small-scale local farming. From backyard farmers to small family farmers, training grants will be provided to increase the viability of small scale farming. Large scale farming is poisoning our environment, and leaving our communities with food lacking in nutritional value. Indeed, in many poorer and remote areas, fresh food is not available at all. These projects will be provided with the necessary infrastructure, education, and tools needed to be successful. All Grantees will have the ability to be compensated for their farmed goods through CropHop, feeding back into the platform itself.

While these goals are ambitious, we are confident that the sustainable practices we will employ in our strategies will create a feed-forward mechanism that, we hope, exponentially changes sustainable practices world-wide. Our farther reaching goals include creating FarmShares that serve as a holistic healing, creative arts, and learning research facilities. These facilities will create community gardens, health care and rejuvenation facilities, educational programs, and research gardens/animal facilities that will be available to all; especially the less fortunate. Towards similar aims, we are developing cryptocurrency platforms such that CropHop can grow in developing countries.
