CrowdFarming
CrowdFarming is a Madrid-based online marketplace that lets consumers buy fruit, vegetables, olive oil, nuts and other products directly from partner farmers across Europe, cutting out intermediaries via tree/product "adoptions" and seasonal boxes. Founded in 2017 by two farmer brothers and two co-founders, it is now Europe's leading direct-to-consumer organic and regenerative food platform, working with 300+ farmers in over a dozen countries and serving 400,000+ consumers. It has raised a Series A round and later secured a €15m EIB venture debt loan.
