How to adopt — everything you need to know

Adopting at CrowdFarming means securing your harvest directly from a farmer for the whole season. Here's how it works from start to finish.

Finding an adoption

1. Log in to your CrowdFarming account
2. Click Adopt your tree in the main menu
3. Browse available projects — use filters to narrow by product, farmer country, or availability
4. Open a project page to find full details: farmer profile, organic certifications, box sizes, and delivery information

Setting up your adoption

On the product page, click Adopt and configure your order:

• Choose your box size — different sizes available depending on the project
• Choose your delivery frequency — every week, every 2 weeks, every month, or every season
• Name your adoption — give your tree, plant, or animal a name, or select an already named unit where applicable
• Select your delivery country

💡 Your frequency determines how often you receive a box throughout the season. You can update it anytime from your Garden.

Payments

• Your first box is charged at purchase — this includes both the product and logistics
• Subsequent boxes are charged automatically before each delivery, at the same price per box
• You'll receive a confirmation email when your adoption starts and a reminder email before each payment

⚠️ Each order is generated automatically one week before shipment based on your chosen frequency.

After purchase

Once confirmed, your adoption appears in your Garden. From there you can:

• Change your box size or delivery frequency
• Update your payment method or delivery address
• Skip or pause a delivery
• Cancel individual orders or your adoption at any time

Your orders are also visible in the Orders section of your account.

Good to know

• For products with a single annual harvest (such as olive oil), the frequency is set to every season — one delivery per year, automatically scheduled
• If you need to change your delivery address or date for a specific order, go to your Orders section
