How your almanac works

Three habits. One growing record that gets more useful every year.

  1. 1

    Tell it where you grow

    Pick your country and region. Your planting calendar adjusts to your climate zone and season — Donegal is not Andalusia.

  2. 2

    Note what happens

    Log sowings, weather, harvests, animals and costs in a minute a day — from your phone in the field or the laptop at night.

  3. 3

    Next season, it remembers

    What went in which bed, which variety cropped best, when the first frost really came. Rotation and planning stop living in your head.

Why we built it
“A French planting guide doesn’t know an Irish frost date, and most growing apps are built around American zones. We think tools for smallholders should be built by people with soil under their fingernails — not developers guessing.”

— The people behind Continental Almanac

We're a small, independent team, and every feature so far was shaped by early growers. Read our story or tell us what to build next — we read every message.

What early growers told us

From our beta testers. We're a young platform — these are the first voices, not a marketing wall.

“Finally a platform built for how we actually farm — not for tech people who've never touched soil.”
Early beta tester · Germany
“The seed swap alone is worth it. Found three rare varieties I'd been searching for within a week.”
Smallholder · Ireland
“The planting calendar changed how I plan my whole year. I can't imagine going back to paper.”
Market gardener · France
