How can you earn on FarmPlace?
One hundred broilers documented before they are ready for sale, a pickup truck paid for a trip it would not otherwise have made, feeders and seedlings reaching the farmers who need them, a filmmaker paid when viewers watch. Different skills, different resources, different opportunities to earn. Launching 15 November.

The question we have not answered yet
We have spent the past few days talking about farmers, buyers, transporters, suppliers, entrepreneurs and content creators.
There is one question we have not really answered.
How can you earn a living through FarmPlace?
We have officially broken through 200 followers 🎉 🎉 🎉, and it is time to take the cat out of the bag.
Imagine 100 broilers in your backyard
You are raising them. Instead of waiting until they are fully grown to start looking for buyers, you document their progress, showcase your birds, and start attracting potential customers before they are ready for sale.
By the time the broilers are ready, the buyers already know you.
Imagine you own a pickup truck
A farmer needs vegetables delivered to a market. You discover the transport request, bid for the job, and get paid for a journey you would not otherwise have made.
The truck was heading that way anyway. Now it earns.
Imagine you make what farmers need
You make poultry feeders, you grow seedlings, you mix chicken feed. FarmPlace gives you another way to make your products visible to the farmers who might need them.
Imagine you are filming one season properly
You are a filmmaker documenting the journey of a Zimbabwean farmer. You create a documentary, publish it as premium content, and earn a share of the revenue when people pay to watch. Your earnings go out to your EcoCash wallet.
Imagine an idea and no network yet
You are a young entrepreneur with an agricultural business idea. You can discover suppliers, connect with potential customers, and start building the relationships needed to turn the idea into a business.
Different skills. Different resources. Different opportunities to earn.
What FarmPlace is not promising
FarmPlace isn't promising that everyone who joins will make money.
We are building an environment where people can turn the agricultural activities, products, services and knowledge they already have into opportunities. What a person earns still depends on what they bring, where they are, and what the people around them need.
200 followers
Today we reached another little milestone: 200 followers.
Thank you to everyone who has been following our journey, sharing our posts, and helping us introduce FarmPlace to more people.
We are still at the beginning.
The more farmers, buyers, transporters, suppliers, creators and businesses we bring together, the more useful this ecosystem can become.
Your hustle deserves visibility.
Your knowledge deserves value.
Your opportunities deserve a place.
Earlier in this series: the farmer, the buyer, the transporter, the agricultural supplier, the agricultural entrepreneur, the agricultural institution, and the content creator.
Next: communities, and what belongs inside one.
FarmPlace launches on 15 November.
