Harvest-ometer

This simple online tool helps growers keep track of how much food they grow and how much money they save. 

It stores your yield data and converts it into a money value, meal value and makes great graphs that you can show friends, family, supporters or even funders!

• To see how much you and your volunteers can grow.
• To include in funding applications or on your website.
