Why buy fruit and veggies that are imported from overseas when you could get them from a backyard in Melbourne?

Your neighbouring suburbs could become your own local food bowl thanks to Ripe Near Me .

The website connects people to fresh produce within their area, whether you are in St Kilda and looking for bay leaves, live in Footscray and are in need of some extra herbs or are from Altona North and want to find someone to take your chicken's excess eggs off your hands.



Melbourne has a huge variety of fresh produce available at different times of the year - you might be surprised at what you find people grow.

Once you create an account or log in via one of your social media profiles, you can either let people know about the produce you have to offer, or search for what's in your area.

After entering your postcode, a map will show icons of different items available, where they are located, whether they are currently ripe or still growing and if they are a free or if a price is charged.



For the items that take your fancy but are listed as still growing, you are able to 'subscribe' to them and receive a notification when they are ripe.

As well as produce grown in people's gardens, there are also icons showing food that has been spotted growing on public land.
If you see an item that someone else has grown/produced, you send them a request and wait for a response.



Each listing is unique, so one person might have bags of lemons for you to collect from them, while others might invite you over, point you in the direction of their mulberry tree and wish you luck.
So what are you waiting for? Get foraging!
