Despensa

Started in September 2026, and the thing I’m putting most of my nights and weekends into right now.

It came out of a small, specific annoyance: getting home with good tomatoes and forgetting who grew them. There are diaries for films and for restaurant meals; there wasn’t one for the ingredients you cook at home.

It is deliberately not Yelp for farmers markets. No star ratings for stalls, no rankings, no leaderboards, and no way to leave a bad review — you rate the produce you ate, not the person who grew it. Claiming a vendor page is free and permanent, and any vendor can opt out with no questions asked.

What’s here

• Seasonal produce calendars across several U.S. cities
• Market schedules and locations
• Hauls — a running log of what you bought and what you made with it
