OpenFarm is a free, open-source web application and database of crowd-sourced Growing Guides for farming and gardening, structured like a recipes site for plants. Its servers were shut down in April 2025 and the repository is archived and read-only.

Use cases

  • find out how to grow tomatoes or other crops
  • browse crowd-sourced gardening guides with spacing, watering, and soil details
  • self-host a plant knowledge database
  • contribute structured growing guides for plants
  • query an open API of farming knowledge

When to choose

  • you want to fork or study the codebase of a community-driven plant knowledge platform
  • you need seed data or content structure for building your own gardening database
  • you want a historical reference for a similar 'Wikipedia for plants' project

When to avoid

  • you need a live service or maintained API - the servers were shut down in April 2025
  • you need security updates or bug fixes - the project is archived and unmaintained
  • you want a production-ready gardening app without investing in revival work
