Growstuff Information

No, Growstuff is a for-profit business (Growstuff Pty Ltd), incorporated in Australia. The business helps provide hosting and support for the Growstuff website. However, we make our best efforts to operate as an ethical, transparent, and community-minded company. You should also know that software and aggregated data about crops and who's growing them are freely available under open licenses. You might like to read Why Growstuff is Open Source to understand some of the reasoning behind that. How does Growstuff make money? We will offer paid subscriptions/memberships, which give you access to special features and a warm glow of knowing you're supporting a sustainable, community-focused project. Can I advertise on Growstuff? Sorry, we're 100% ad-free! If you're a member, you can post things to trade or sell in our trading post area, but we don't have and will never have banner ads or the like. We believe that supporting a website through outside advertising makes for a less pleasant experience for our members and visitors, and is not a sustainable business model. What's the status of Growstuff? Is it in beta? We don't much like the word "beta" or the idea it represents. Growstuff is in a constant state of change and improvement, and we hope we will always be adding new features and making things better for our members. If you find any bugs or problems, please let us know via our support forum. If a feature you want isn't available yet, check back soon!
