Local first
Everything on Lemon Tree is grown or made close to where you are. No warehouses, no shipping — just what's down the road.
Our story
We're bringing the roadside stall online — without losing what makes it special.
For as long as people have grown food, they've left the surplus by the gate with an honesty box and a hand-written sign. Lemon Tree is a map of those stalls — the eggs, fruit, flowers and preserves grown a few streets away — so more of it gets found, and less of it goes to waste.
Why we built it
Some of the best food never makes it to a shop. It's the lemons falling off a tree in someone's front yard, the dozen eggs a neighbour can't get through, the honey from three houses over. It's cheaper, fresher and more personal than anything on a supermarket shelf — but unless you happen to drive past the sign, you'd never know it was there.
Lemon Tree fixes that one small, human problem: helping the people with good things to share find the people looking for them. We keep it deliberately simple — see what's fresh nearby, then go and pick it up. No baskets, no couriers, no commission taking a cut of a $3 bag of plums.
It started with backyard growers, but the idea travels. Roadside stalls and honesty boxes exist all over the world, so Lemon Tree is built to work wherever good things are grown close to home.
What we care about
A few things we won't compromise on.
Trust, not algorithms
Stalls are added by real people and kept current by the growers themselves. What you see is picked by people, not an opaque feed.
Good for growers
A backyard glut or a full roadside stall — anyone can share what they grow and reach the neighbours already looking for it.

We’re preparing Lemon Tree for launch. Product access will open when it is ready.
