Broadfork Beta

The Broadfork Beta went live on November 12, 2026. What is it, and how can you sign up?

What Broadfork is

You draw your beds on a map of your plot and plant them by the square, by the row or by broadcast. Broadfork works out what should happen and when from your own frost dates, keeps what each bed did year after year, and raises what needs your attention, with the source it is going by. Next year's plan starts from what this year taught it.

Most garden planners are a calendar with drawing tools. Broadfork is closer to a gardener's memory with an opinion, in the words of the review Gab AI wrote after walking the app. Open a bed and it tells you what grew there last year and which plant families should rest there, and for how long. The Timeline shows when to expect a harvest before you have picked anything, then moves it when your first fruit comes. It warns you while there is still time to act, shows you the source, and when it does not know something, it says so.

Everything Broadfork does today is listed on Features, and the tour shows it working.

What closed means

Testers are let in a few at a time, so each one's answers can be read properly. Asking to join does not promise a place. Broadfork is built for a computer screen first, so testers need a computer with a current browser.

What a tester does

The app walks you through the testing on a sample garden, one step at a time. Each step says what to do and what you should see, and you press Pass or Fail, with a reason when it fails. Each page has room for how it felt, what works and what does not. Nothing leaves your browser until you press Send, and you read every line first.

What testers get

Testers who complete each round will get to use Broadfork for free upon release. Completing a round means answering every step of the test plan and pressing Submit at the end.
