A web/mobile planner that converts a household’s dietary constraints, storage capacity, and shopping cadence into a practical grow + preserve plan (what to plant, when, how much, and how it maps to meals). It generates a monthly harvest-to-freezer schedule, tracks freezer/pantry inventory, and recommends substitution-safe recipes for common harvest gluts. It also includes region/season planting calendars and pest-management playbooks focused on minimizing spoilage for high-value crops.

Target customer
Rural/remote households and homesteaders who rely on periodic grocery trips and want to reduce food spend via gardening + preservation, especially families managing allergies and picky eating.
Problem-solution fit
These users aren’t just gardening for hobby; they need reliability (long-storing foods), predictability (monthly resupply), and safety (dairy/soy allergy) while avoiding waste. The product reduces costly experimentation by turning constraints (trip frequency, freezer space, family preferences) into an actionable planting and preservation plan, and maintains an inventory so households can confidently stretch time between store trips.
