Built by and for homesteaders

Why we built this

Homesteading across Europe has always meant working with fragmented information — a French planting guide doesn't account for an Irish frost date, and a German seed supplier isn't much use to someone in Portugal. Most tools built for this space are American, built around US hardiness zones and US growing seasons.

Continental Almanac exists to close that gap: one place to journal your land, track what you're growing and raising, swap seeds with people who actually share your climate, and learn from a community that understands the specific rhythms of European homesteading — from Scandinavia's short summers to Iberia's dry heat.

What we believe

• Growing food and keeping animals is a skill worth recording, not just doing — a good journal makes you better at it year over year.
• Seed diversity and local knowledge matter more than any single "best" way to grow something.
• Tools for smallholders should be built by people who've actually got soil under their fingernails, not just developers guessing.

Where we're at

Continental Almanac is a small, independently-run platform. We're just getting started — every feature you see was shaped by early feedback from the growers, keepers, and preservers who've tried it. If something's missing or broken, tell us — we read every message.
