Latest Updates from Our Project:

New stretch goals, new rewards, and new bonus rewards for all backers!
over 8 years ago – Sun, Nov 01, 2015 at 05:20:10 PM

Wow, we made it to $10,000----we are so thrilled and excited for the enthusiasm we've received for this project, and are psyched to unlock your latest bonus! As a special thank you for reaching this goal, everyone will receive a free sample of a primo plant food called Protolizer that is all natural, vegan, and organic. We use it at the farm for all of our plants, and it works great with container plants! Now you'll all get some to use with your kits! We've also unlocked our newest stretch goals!

 And a new $100 reward tier (thanks to Kickstarter user Jinny for the suggestion!). 

The Homesweet Homegrown Jet Pack reward includes a whole garden of takeout kits (8 total!) + a 3-pack of hot sauce + a signed copy of my book! All will be shipped in time for the holidays and make great presents. If you want to upgrade your pledge to get a sample of everything, just click adjust pledge and choose the new Jet Pack level. 

Oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN all!

Hi Everyone, 

How's it going? I hope you are all having an amazing day. I wanted to thank you again for backing our project---we consider all of you part of the Homesweet Homegrown team, and really appreciate your support! 

I'm happy to announce that we've offered a few new rewards in the spirit of giving, and giving back!

Get a Garden/ Give a Garden! At the $135 level, we will send you one of each of our grow kits and ship a set to the community garden, school, library, or organization of your choice! We'll even include a personal note from you!

Get a Garden/ Gift a Garden: To make your holidays a little less hectic, we are offering new rewards where we ship our grow kits to you, and also ship a gift set to anyone in the US with a personal note from you! We are offering these at the $30, $80 and $135 level. 

Get a Garden, Gift a Garden and Give a Garden!: This $200 reward does it all----you and a friend will get a complete set of grow kits, and we'll give one to the school, community garden, library, or organization of your choice! 

We've always been about educating and empowering people everywhere to learn where their food comes from, and helping them eat and live better, so I'm excited to offer these new rewards! 

Protilizer Stretch Goal Bonus for all Backers!

If we hit $10,000, every backer will receive a free bonus sample of Protilizer, a certified organic (and vegan!) fertilizer that uses beneficial microbes to give your plants an even healthier start. This will speed up germination time, reduce the chance of disease, and help your plants grow bigger and faster. You can apply it when you plant your seeds, and then every few weeks. I've researched and tested several types of fertilizers, and am happy to find one that is vegan, organic, and super healthy for your plants. And, it works really, really well!

To help us get there, please spread the word about our project. We have 21 days to go, and can't wait to get these out to you all!

Stretch Goals Announced! And, a Pic of our Tom Thumb Pea Kit in Action!
over 8 years ago – Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 02:22:15 AM

Wow, we are so excited to have you guys on board, and have added a few stretch goals as a thank you! 

If we hit these goals, all backers will get these added to their rewards as a bonus!

Stretch Goals: 

$5,000: A free digital copy of Homesweet Homegrown: How to Grow Make and Store Food No Matter Where You Live. This handy book for the modern homesteader includes grow guides, recipes, DIY projects, details for canning, pickling, and more.

$10,000: A bonus organic fertilizer boost for your Takeout Grow Kits!

$15,000: A bonus refill kit for all backers, so you can reuse your greenhouse Takeout Grow Kit and grow even more food!

Also, I wanted to show a pic of our Tom Thumb Peas----these are the cutest snap peas that can be grown anywhere. They were started in our Takeout Grow Kit and transplanted right before we launched our Kickstarter (you can see the pic in our project in fact---my son Ajax helped transplant it!) A few weeks later and we now have peas! Seed to plate in less than 60 days...

Thanks again guys!
