What’s in season near you.
Fruit and veg eaten in their season taste better, hold more of their nutrients, and make eating something to look forward to again. Ripe shows you what’s at its best right now, where you live.
At its best in California this week.

In-season produce is just better.
Strawberries in June, tomatoes in August, squash in October — there’s a reason produce has a season. When you eat with it, three things change.
It tastes better
In-season produce is harvested ripe and sold close to home, instead of picked early to survive a long trip. That's the whole difference between a summer tomato and a cardboard one.
It's better for you
Fruit and veg start losing nutrients the moment they're picked. In-season produce spends less time in transit and cold storage, so more of what's good for you actually makes it to your plate.
It's a better way to eat
Eating with the season brings back variety and anticipation — strawberries in June, squash in October. It's usually cheaper at its peak, and always fresher.
Built on real USDA harvest data.
Most “what’s in season” answers are buried in blog posts and charts that don’t agree with each other. Ripe’s seasons come from public-domain USDA harvest data, mapped to your US growing region — so the answer is grounded in what actually grows near you, not a guess.
And where there isn’t solid data for a region yet, Ripe says “not covered yet” instead of making something up. What you see is what the data supports — nothing more.

- The US, by growing region, for this version — with more regions added as the data lands. The list above lets you look at any covered region right here in the browser.
- Sign in to the new device with the same Apple ID you bought with, open Ripe, and use Restore Purchases. Your unlock restores within a few seconds.
- Email contact@bbmaxwell.dev — I read every message personally. When reporting a bug, your iPhone model and iOS version help me reproduce it faster.
- Effectively nothing. No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party tracking; the app works fully offline. The only thing it ever sends is an email address, and only if you choose to share one. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
