Help establish an ultra-local food system

Help establish an ultra-local food system.

 

Ripe Near Me is a wonderful tool to show you what is growing and in excess near to where you live. Rather than letting your excess produce go to waste or having to beg neighbours to take one more bag of lemons or more rhubarb, you can advertise on Ripe Near Me that you have more than you can handle and you can either sell it or give it away free as you like. 🙂

If you can pledge some money to help support this crowdfunding campaign to improve Ripe Near Me please do. Locally grown in season produce is the best food you can eat.
