There was a time when a dozen eggs came from the family down the road, the tomatoes came over the fence in a paper sack, and the jam had a name written on the lid. Nobody needed an ingredient label, because you knew the person who made it.
Chicken Wire is our attempt to hand that back to people. Not a grocery aisle. Not a faceless marketplace. A neighborhood — where the person matters as much as the product.
Every listing has a real neighbor behind it, with a name, a neighborhood, and a track record. No mystery ingredients, no chemical guesswork — just ask the person who grew it.
Sell it, trade it, or hand it over for a jar of honey. We keep the exchange flexible on purpose, because generosity is what makes a neighborhood feel like one.
Phone verification, public meetup spots, reviews, and reporting are built in from day one. Friendly only works when everyone also feels safe.
