## What is Ripe?

Washington is full of free fruit, and most of it goes unpicked.

Ripe is a map of the fruit trees, berry brambles and nut trees you can forage around WA - in parks, on planting strips, along trails and over fences into the alley. Around 12,000 spots, all free to pick.

WHAT'S ON THE MAP

Blackberry, apple, plum, fig, pear, cherry, and thirty more: mulberry, quince, serviceberry, hazelnut, chestnut, elderberry, Oregon grape, salmonberry, thimbleberry and the rest. Filter to one kind, or tap "Ripe now" to see only what should be ready this week.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Find what's near you. The map opens where you are, and every pin shows what it is before you tap it.
• See if it's worth the walk. Each spot shows where it is in its season, from "not yet" through "ripe now" to "past it".
• Say how it looks. One tap tells everyone else whether a tree is ready.
• Add a spot. Drop a pin, name the fruit, take a photo. It takes about twenty seconds standing under the tree.
• Leave a note. Whether it's easy to reach, whether the good branches are over a fence, whether somebody already got there.
• Keep working with no signal. Spots you've already looked at stay on your phone, so a park with one bar still shows you what's around.

NO ACCOUNT

There's no sign-up, no password and no email. You can add spots, photos and notes without making an account, and the app never asks who you are. No ads and no tracking.
