Built by neighbors, for neighbors.
CuzHens is a community-first marketplace connecting backyard farmers and small growers directly with the people who live a few streets away. No warehouses. No middlemen. Just real food and real conversations between the people who grow it and the people who eat it.
A food system that starts at your fence line.
The grocery store is fine. But it’s not fresh, it’s not local, and the money you spend there doesn’t stay in your community.
We believe the family two streets over with a flock of hens, the homestead down the road with a half-acre garden, and the small farm at the edge of town all deserve a way to reach the neighbors who would happily buy what they grow. We exist to make that connection effortless, trustworthy, and dignified for everyone involved.
No subscription boxes. No warehouses. No corporate middlemen. Just real food, real people, and a marketplace that knows you both by name.
“I started CuzHens because my neighbors kept asking where I got my eggs. They didn’t want grocery store eggs anymore. They wanted what my chickens were laying that morning. Once I started thinking about it that way, the whole missing piece of the food system came into focus.”
“Every farmer I’ve talked to since has a version of the same story — they have something good to sell, but no easy way to reach the people right next to them. CuzHens is what I wish had existed back then. It’s not just a marketplace; it’s a way to put your neighbors back at the center of where your food comes from.”
Our four promises
Hyper-local
If it doesn’t grow within driving distance, it doesn’t belong on CuzHens. We’re building one neighborhood at a time, on purpose.
Honest by default
No fake reviews, no fake scarcity, no fake “organic” labels. Every farm gets to tell its own story — and stand by it.
Community-owned
The platform exists to serve farmers and shoppers, not the other way around. Vendors keep their margins. Buyers know exactly where their dollar goes.
Built to protect both sides
Formal disputes, real verification, transparent fees. We don’t hide behind 600-page terms — if something’s wrong, a real human at CuzHens helps fix it.
From one backyard flock to here.
- 2024
The idea
A backyard flock in Waycross, GA produced more eggs than a single family could eat. The neighbors wanted them. The grocery store still sold week-old factory eggs.
- Early 2025
First storefront
We listed the very first CuzHens farm — a hen flock, raw honey from one hive, and a small kitchen garden. Sold out in 48 hours.
- Mid 2025
Open beta
Verified-farm onboarding launched. Backyard growers across rural Georgia started joining — most made their first sale within a week.
- Now
Building together
Disputes, reviews, equipment & services, multi-tier memberships, vendor payouts via Stripe — everything you see today was built with farmer feedback.

Your neighborhood
We’re expanding ZIP by ZIP. If your area isn’t covered yet, join the waitlist on the homepage — your signup tells us where to open next.
Every CuzHens order makes the local food system a little stronger.
The next neighborhood is yours.
We're a small team. We grow one ZIP code at a time, on purpose — because hyper-local only works when the farms actually exist near the buyers. Where there's demand, we go next.
On the roadmap: an “Equipment & Services” marketplace for rentals and farm labor, AI-assisted help for new sellers, a loyalty program that gives back to the farms you support most, and partnerships with regional homestead communities.
If you want CuzHens in your area, the fastest way to make it happen is to drop your ZIP on our waitlist or start a storefront yourself.
Help us build the food chain we all deserve.
Whether you're here to shop, sell, or just stay in the loop — thank you for being early. This whole thing exists because of people like you.
