Where We Grow

Field guide meets road trip. Real-time crop identification while you drive — backed by USDA satellite data. 50 crops. No sign-in. No tracking.

WHAT'S IN THE FIELD

Where We Grow turns every drive into a field guide. Open the Map and see real crops growing on the actual land around you — pulled live from USDA satellite data. Open Drive Mode and the app follows you down the road, identifying each field you pass in real time, mile by mile.

50 American crops. Real seasonal cycles. Real regions. No sign-in.

DRIVE MODE The headline feature. Set the phone on the dash and Drive Mode watches your GPS, identifies every crop you pass, and builds a record of your trip. Drive across Iowa — you'll pass corn, soybeans, alfalfa, oats. Through California's Central Valley — almonds, walnuts, pistachios, oranges, vineyards. The South — peanuts, cotton, sweet potatoes, pecans. Each new crop unlocks a card with descriptions, seasonal status, and "how to spot it" visual cues.

BUILD YOUR FIELD GUIDE AS YOU GO The Crops Spotted tally on the About tab tracks every crop you've actually driven past — your lifetime field-guide score. 50 crops scattered across 13 agricultural regions. The progress bar fills as you explore.

A FIELD GUIDE TO 50 AMERICAN CROPS Every crop America grows, from Corn Belt commodities to specialty growers — cherries in Michigan, cranberries in Wisconsin, almonds in California, peanuts in Georgia. Each crop has:

• Seasonal timeline — what's happening in the field this month • How to spot it — visual cues for identifying it from a passing car • Field-to-you — what the crop becomes after harvest • Did You Know — a memorable fact, fact-checked against USDA data

LOCAL FOOD, RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE The Explore tab connects you to farmers markets, on-farm markets, CSA programs, and U-Pick farms near your location — straight from the USDA Local Food Portal. Tap any market for directions, website, and phone in one tap.

STORIES, RECIPES, FESTIVALS Curated narrative content connects crops to people, places, and history. Castroville's Artichoke Festival. George Washington Carver's peanut innovations. The Hatch chile harvest. The Spam Jam in Austin, Minnesota. Recipes that use the crops in your region.

REAL DATA YOU CAN TRUST Crop identification uses USDA CropScape Cropland Data Layer satellite imagery. California users get an additional accuracy upgrade from CA Department of Water Resources Land IQ field-polygon data (96–98% accurate vs CDL's 77% nationally) — especially noticeable for orchards and vineyards. Markets and CSAs from USDA Local Food Portal. Geocoding from OpenStreetMap.
