Entries land here two ways: our curators mark a project dormant or dead after checking its own repositories, or the nightly link sweep confirms a site is gone. If one of these comes back to life, tell us and it returns to the live listings.

A fully open, solar-powered farm rover reference design from a California research farm. Development has been quiet since 2024; the plans remain.
A complete open rover design to study, with honest notice that the project is sleeping.
What survives ↗EPA's archive of a hundred seventy thousand accepted pesticide labels, searchable by product, registration number, company, or active ingredient. The label is the law. There is a public API.
Pull the current federal label before you buy or spray: crop sites, rates, reentry and preharvest intervals.
The food computer initiative, the most hyped open ag project of its decade, shut down in 2020 after its demos proved staged. The grassroots projects it overshadowed all outlived it.
The other cautionary tale: working tools and honest claims beat press releases.
What survives ↗The crowdsourced growing-guide project, ten years of work, servers shut down in 2025. Only a few hundred crop records were rescued, by Growstuff. The lesson: open data outlives dead servers only if someone mirrors it.
A cautionary tale other directories still link as though it were alive.
What survives ↗Once the friendliest tiny-scale farm journal to self-host; unmaintained since 2021 and still appearing in software roundups.
A name to recognize so you do not build on it; use farmOS or LiteFarm instead.
