How Escrow Works

GROW uses a transparent, staged escrow system to protect both buyers and farmers. Your payment is held securely and released only when milestones are reached.

Why Escrow Matters

Buyer Protection

Your money is only released when crops are harvested and delivered, not when you reserve them.

Farmer Support

Farmers know they have committed buyers, reducing risk and allowing them to invest in quality seeds and care.

Transparency

Every stage is tracked and confirmed by both parties, ensuring accountability and fairness.

The Four Stages

Reserved (20%)

20%

You purchase a crop, and GROW holds 20% of your payment in escrow. The farm confirms they have a committed buyer for their crop.

Planted (30%)

30%

The farm plants the seeds and confirms the crop is in the ground. Another 30% of your payment is now secured for this milestone.

Harvested (25%)

25%

The crop reaches maturity and is harvested. The farm confirms the harvest, and 25% of your payment is held until delivery.

Delivered (25%)

25%

You receive the crop and confirm delivery. The final 25% is released to the farm, completing the transaction.
