How it works

From backyard surplus to neighborhood trade.

Kah turns the produce you can't finish into something your neighbors value — by barter or by sale. Here's how the platform works, start to harvest.

Getting started

Up and trading in three steps

No waiting to buy. No paywall to trade. No pressure to sell until you're ready.

  1. Buy from day one

    Sign up free and start browsing what's growing nearby. Buy fresh surplus straight from local producers — no waiting, no gate, no plot required.

  2. Earn your way into barter

    Trade, give, and rack up good reviews. Every bit of Community Contribution you build brings you closer to free barter listings — your neighbors vouch for you with every trade.

  3. Go cash with a Grower plan

    Ready to sell for cash instead of trading? Subscribe to a Grower plan — you set the price, keep 95%, and Kah takes a flat 5% fee.

Grower tiers

Community standing is earned. Selling is a plan you choose.

Kah runs two tracks side by side: Community Contribution, which you earn by giving, and Grower plans, which you pay for. They don't have to move together.
