How GroundShare Works

Flexible plot sizing—by the foot, yard, or acre—means landowners maximize their space and growers find exactly what they need.

Browse & Discover

Search our map for available land. Filter by location, size, soil type, water access, and more.

Book Your Season

Select your plot and rental period. Secure your booking with trusted payments. No long-term commitments—rent for a single season or renew year after year.

Grow & Thrive

Start planting with flexible access throughout your rental. Harvest your produce, build soil health, and connect with local grower networks.

The Subdivision Advantage

Traditional land rentals force an all-or-nothing approach—entire fields leased to single tenants for years at a time. GroundShare changes the game with flexible plot subdivision.

Landowners divide their property however they choose—by the square foot for backyard gardens, by the yard for suburban plots, or by the acre for farmland. This means more revenue per acre for landowners and affordable entry points for growers at every scale.

Turn idle space into income

Subdivide on your terms—rent one plot or twenty

Flexible Subdivision

Divide your property into as many plots as you want. Rent a corner of your backyard or section off 10 acres—you control the layout.

Higher Returns Per Acre

Multiple small rentals often outperform single large leases. Diversify your income with several growers instead of one tenant.

Hassle-Free Management

We handle payments, insurance, and renter vetting. You provide land and collect income—no property management headaches.

Seasonal Flexibility

Unlike multi-year farm leases, seasonal rentals let you adjust terms, pricing, and availability each year.

Traditional Land Rental

  • Multi-year lease commitments
  • All-or-nothing: rent the whole field or nothing
  • Single tenant = single point of failure
  • High barrier to entry for new growers

GroundShare Model

  • Seasonal rentals with yearly flexibility
  • Subdivide into any size: sq ft, yards, or acres
  • Multiple tenants = diversified income
  • Accessible entry points for all skill levels

Why This Matters

American agriculture faces real challenges—and GroundShare is building the infrastructure for a more resilient future.

A Movement Toward Resilience

By championing polyculture over industrial monoculture, GroundShare empowers biodiversity, soil health, and local food systems. Each plot becomes an opportunity for regenerative practices, heirloom varieties, and community connection.

This isn't just about individual plots—it's about systemic change. By democratizing access to land, we create pathways for the next generation of farmers, preserve agricultural knowledge, and build food systems that can withstand climate shocks and economic disruptions.
