Welcome to our sprouting community!

Magic Beans was formed as a Facebook group in Hawke’s Bay NZ 8 years ago, and founders Anneliese Hough and Sarah Grant launched the Magic Beans app across New Zealand in 2023. Thousands of New Zealanders call themselves ‘Beanies’ and use Magic Beans to swap their home grown and produced food and gardening supplies.Join our mailing list for updates on our future launches.

Growing and sharing food means better outcomes for the whole community.

Fresh, healthy food is a basic human right, not a commodity.
