Ripe About Now

Ripe About Now is a free Windows software tool and website which allows you quickly to see which fruit and vegetables are in season in the UK, and allows you as a consumer to make informed shopping choices. The desktop tool links to this website, which gives further information, recipes, useful links and opinions on the fruit and vegetables in season.

Southfacing Services feel that if more people are aware of which fruit and vegetables are in season at any one time, then this will help to inform their purchasing decisions and allow them to buy seasonally. This is one of the most delicious and sustainable ways to purchase food whilst minimising the embodied energy within it, reducing transport and encouraging local production.
