1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Garden-to-Table Companion mobile application ("App") operated by Built by Foundry, Inc., formerly known as Playpen Games, Inc. ("Foundry"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please uninstall the App.Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use Garden-to-Table Companion.

2. About Garden-to-Table Companion

Garden-to-Table Companion helps home gardeners build a personalized plan, see timely garden actions, record plant history, run guided Plant Health checks, and use or preserve a harvest in Kitchen. It is built with Matthew Gauger of Greenhorn Grove Farm. Kitchen and community features support the garden journey; livestock is not a primary product function.
Gardening and Plant Health Limitations: Garden-to-Table Companion is an educational planning and reference tool. Plant Health is not a laboratory diagnosis and does not guarantee identification, diagnosis, cure, yield, safety, or outcome. Photos can hide important details, automated results can be incomplete or wrong, and garden conditions vary. The App may show confidence, request more information, or decline to give a result. Consult a local extension service or qualified professional when the risk is significant. Before applying any pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, fertilizer, biological treatment, or home remedy, read and follow the product label, local law, crop restrictions, protective-equipment requirements, and harvest interval. The label controls if App guidance conflicts with it.
Food and Preservation Safety: Recipes and Kitchen features are educational and are not professional food-safety, nutrition, or medical advice. Canning, fermentation, dairy, and preservation can carry serious risks. Follow current USDA or local extension guidance, use tested processes where appropriate, and do not eat or serve food you believe may be unsafe.
Community Content: Posts, photos, replies, recipes, and advice from members are user content, not professional advice from Foundry or Matthew Gauger. We provide reporting and moderation tools but cannot review every item before it appears. Do not rely on community content for high-risk plant treatment, chemical use, food safety, medical, legal, or financial decisions.
