Locavore App

You will never be far away from fresh, seasonal produce with the Locavore App. The iPhone Locavore App uses GPS technology to find your location in order to display a list of fruits and vegetables that are in-season and should be available, if not soon, from local farmers’ markets. This App can be purchased from the Apple iPhone App store, as listed under “Lifestyle”. *

Do note, though, that the App draws information from LocalHarvest.org where you, too, can look to source your produce locally—no iPhone required.
