Your tree makes more than you can eat
Chunky Burps puts your surplus in front of the neighbors who will actually come and get it — for free, in about two minutes, without putting your address on the public internet.
Three steps, then the tree does the rest
Post what is ready
Snap a photo, say what it is, and set a pickup location you are comfortable with. About two minutes, and only when you actually have more than you can use.
Neighbors find it on the map
Your listing appears as a pin for people nearby, who can follow it and get a notification when something comes into season around them.
They come and collect
Work out a time through in-app messaging, or keep it simple: crate by the gate, help yourself. Give it away, swap it, or barter — your call.
People list all of this:
The bit everyone asks about
Sharing food from your own home is a fair thing to be careful about. Here is exactly how it works.
Do I have to publish my address?
No. The public internet never sees where you live — signed-out visitors and search engines get a deliberately approximate pin, roughly 650 feet off, with no address and no contact details attached. Only signed-in members see the address on a listing, and you decide what that address is: your gate, or the corner of your street, whichever sits right with you.
Do I have to talk to strangers?
Only as much as you want to. Messaging happens inside the app, so your phone number and email stay yours unless you hand them over. Plenty of listings never involve a conversation at all — the produce sits in a box at the gate and people take what they need.
What if I only want to share with my street?
Make a private group and post to it. Group listings are visible to members only — they never appear on the public map, and someone removed from the group stops seeing them.
I have not got much. Is it worth listing?
Ten lemons is worth listing. So is a tray of eggs, a jar of honey, a tub of surplus seedlings, the last of the jam, or the mint that has taken over the path. Small and regular beats one enormous harvest nobody hears about.
What if the season ends, or I change my mind?
Mark a listing unavailable or delete it whenever you like, and set an end date up front if you already know when the tree will be done. Nothing stays up after you are finished with it.
What does it cost?
Nothing. No fees, no commission, and nothing is sold through the app. Chunky Burps is a way for neighbors to find each other, not a marketplace taking a cut.
Why we are asking
A neighborhood with a hundred fruit trees in it already grows enough to feed the people living there. What it does not have is a way for anyone to know which tree is ready this week.
That is the whole idea, and growers are the part that makes it work. Without listings, there is nothing on the map.
