The problem
Australia grows enough food to feed itself twice over.
Every year, around a fifth of what we harvest never reaches a buyer — not because it's bad, but because there's no efficient way to route surplus that doesn't meet supermarket specs.

From paddock to plate in four steps.
Gleana removes the coordination friction that makes surplus recovery uneconomic for small farmers.
Step 01
Snap a Photo
Take a quick photo of your surplus produce. That's all you need to get started.
Step 02
AI Creates the Listing
Our AI identifies the produce, estimates quantity and quality, and drafts a listing for your approval.
Step 03
Smart Dispatch
Tiered routing sends your produce to the best match — commercial buyers first, then food rescue organisations.
Step 04
Get Paid, Zero Fees
Farmers receive the full listing price. The 10% platform fee is charged to the buyer, never deducted from your proceeds.

What we're building
Built for the real paddock.
Gleana is in development. Every feature is being designed with rural Australian farmers in mind — patchy connectivity, time pressure, and the need for simplicity.
AI Vision
Photo to listing in seconds.
Multi-provider AI vision will identify produce type and estimate quantity and quality grade from a single photo. You always confirm before it goes live.
Offline · PWA
Works in the dead zone.
Create listings with no internet connection. Gleana syncs automatically when you're back online — your work is saved locally first.
Privacy
Privacy First
Farm addresses are never publicly visible. Location is only revealed to matched buyers after you accept the deal.
Compliance
Auto Compliance
Food safety documentation, tax invoices, and donation receipts generated automatically for every transaction.
Routing
Smart Routing
Tiered dispatch prioritises commercial buyers, then routes unsold surplus to food rescue organisations — nothing goes to waste.
Alerts
Real-time notifications — as SMS, not dashboard noise.
A buyer picks up a listing, a rescue org accepts a load, a truck is running late — you get a short, actionable text. If nothing needs doing, nothing interrupts you.
