The idea
What Is The GOED Test?
The GOED Test (Garden of Eden Test) helps you discover what food can naturally grow where you live.
By entering your ZIP code, you'll uncover the fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, berries, and edible plants that thrive in your region—along with local growers, markets, nurseries, and food sources nearby.
It's a simple way to reconnect with the abundance already around you.
What Could Grow On Your Front Lawn?
Most lawns consume water, fertilizer, time, and resources.
The GOED Test helps you discover what edible plants, fruit trees, herbs, berries, and food-producing ecosystems could thrive where you live.
Because abundance may be closer than you think.
