RIPE

Turn your backyard surplus into community gold. Swap tomatoes for zucchini, herbs for citrus. No money, just neighbours helping neighbours.

Got a zucchini avalanche? A lemon tree going wild? Tomatoes ripening faster than you can eat them? RIPE connects you with neighbours who want what you've grown and have something fresh to offer in return.

RIPE is Australia's backyard trade network. List your surplus garden produce, discover what's growing nearby, and swap directly with people in your suburb. No money. No middlemen. Just real food and real community.

How it works: List what you've grown including tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, leafy greens, herbs, citrus and more. Browse a live map of produce available right in your neighbourhood. Send a trade request, chat with your neighbour, arrange a swap. Complete the trade and build your RipeScore.

RipeScore, earn your stripes: Every trade builds your reputation. Watch your tomato ripen from green to ripe as you become a trusted grower in your community. RipeScore is RIPE's trust system, transparent, fair, and earned through real trades with real neighbours.

Why RIPE: Reduce food waste from your backyard garden. Build genuine connections with your neighbours. Discover fresh produce growing streets away. Give freely or trade, your choice on every listing. Everything within walking or driving distance.

What you can list: Veggies, Fruits, herbs, preserves and more!

RIPE is completely free. No money ever changes hands, just homegrown goodness shared between neighbours.
