Grove Eco: Growing, making, creating...

A global community of food producers, artisans and artists

Sharing a deep respect for traditional skills and Nature

Value for Value

We are committed to building a strong community at Grove Eco, and we're using the V4V (Value for Value) model to make it happen. By providing value and assistance wherever possible, putting ourselves out there, sharing information freely, a range of ground-up initiatives can flourish for the benefit of individuals, communities and ecosystems on this amazing planet.

Members welcome

Full Membership

If you are a grower, artisan or artist living off your passion, consider piggybacking off the Grove Eco platform with a "Proof of Work" portfolio. This is not the first network we have set up for the benefit of specialist artisans. If you prefer working with your hands, leave us to do the heavy lifting for you online!

Proof of Work Portfolio

A personal web space designed to generate new opportunities and business. Accessible in 100 languages, it consists of a bio, gallery, reviews and news, all supported by private chat and DMs, social media, global digital payments, a store and more. Proactive support to spread your reach. Unlimited content, free hosting.

Where knowledge lives

The answer to most questions is still found in articles not social media one-liners. Grove Eco therefore focuses on developing a list of articles that provide in-depth answers on chicken farming, olive growing, basket-weaving, natural wine-making and more.

E-commerce store

Support our members by purchasing their eco produce, artisan crafts and artwork on Plebeian Market. The P2P store front operates on a Value-for-Value basis. 0% commission, secure and private, how online commerce should be.

Grove Eco community chat room

Presentations and discussions for members and fans. 1:1; small groups; live streaming is on the roadmap too.

Technology that enables freedom of expression

There is no greater brake on progress than restricting people's ability to communicate. The Open Source network counts its members in the tens of millions world-wide, openly sharing knowledge around the globe. Consider Grove Eco as member n+1, sharing the experiences of food producers, artisans and artists striving to do their very best work in tandem with Nature. Life isn't a dress rehearsal.

Online Privacy

Ironically, privacy is the cornerstone of open communication! Grove Eco is a privacy-focused platform providing all our readers and members with end-to-end encrypted contact forms, chat and payments. Use apps that don't harvest data. Move through the site with all tracking turned off. It is not about secrecy, it is about enabling you to share your personal information when you want, with whoever you want, on your terms.

Ssshh, it all starts here

Nostr - social media done right

"Blog - Search Engine Optimisation- Social media" This is a tried and tested approach to sharing information online. However, there's a big dark X next to Twitter & co these days. The only social media platforms I would dare use or recommend are powered by Nostr. Free of manipulative algorithms, ads and trackers, Nostr is full of #asknostr #growstr #artstr and constructive conversation.

Global open payment system built in

We operate on a Value for Value model, whereby readers who find value in the content here are invited to support us with secure, instant, micro-payments. Sellers can use the same payments system to invoice and receive any amount from anyone anywhere with near zero transaction costs. Goodbye Visa, Paypal call-backs and olde worlde banking, hello Bitcoin Lightning and $ats.

Zap $ats like a champ
