locavore-map.pnglocavore-map.pngfarmers-market-list.pngwelcome_icon_appstore.pngWant to know what fruits and vegetables are in season and for how much longer? Need to know where the nearest farmer’s market is? Gotta have the latest Locavore Twitter update? Then there is an iPhone app’ for you.


According to the app description on the iTunes store: “Eating local food when it’s in season is an increasingly popular goal amongst people who are interested in eating the tastiest, healthiest food while also being good to the environment. Knowing what’s available in your area at a given time of year is often difficult to determine, so we’ve taken on the task of collecting data from a variety of sources and presenting it all in the most understandable of ways. The Locavore iPhone app will come in handy next time you’re at the market and want to know what’s actually being grown near you, and what is most likely to taste the best right now. Whether you’re just trying to become more aware of what’s in season around you, or you are fully committed to eating only locally grown food, this app will help you know what your options are.”


There’s no shortage of tech reviews about the app. This one from mobilecrunch is the perfect recipe of technology and terra firma.


Who knew the tech industry was so farm-friendly?
