PickRipe is the marketplace where backyard fruit tree owners post what's ripe, and neighbors make offers to come pick it. Fresh produce, zero waste, stronger communities.
of US fruit goes to waste
tons of produce wasted/year
days of growing in LA
Every year, backyards across America produce more fruit than homeowners can eat. It falls, rots, and attracts pests. Meanwhile, their neighbors are buying the same fruit at the grocery store for $6/lb.
More fruit than they can eat, pick, or give away. Trees need regular harvesting to stay healthy.
Grocery store fruit travels 1,500+ miles. Your neighbor's tree is 500 feet away.
Wasted food is the #1 material in US landfills. Most of it is fruit and vegetables.
