Ripe is all about making fresh organic fruit and veggies accessible and affordable. We support local farms and advocate eating fresh local organic produce. The Ripe Farm Shop is home to hundreds of varieties of fresh organic produce, superfoods, pantry essentials and artisanal products. The Ripe Market is unique, weekly community event that allows us to promote our love of organic and offer other like minded, local businesses, a platform to showcase themselves to the community. Who are we and what do we do?
What is Raising with Ripe? Raising with Ripe is all about educating and engaging the next generation of growers and eaters and encouraging them to make healthy food choices. We will bring our pop-up market concept to your school once every half term. The Ripe Market Stall will offer a selection of Ripes tastiest organic fruit and veggies. Parents and children can purchase straight from the Ripe Market Stall and 10% of sales will go back to the school for you to plant your own organic veggie garden. Our Ripe team will be on hand on the day to talk all things organic and organic farming so parents, children and teachers come away with the knowledge to make informed healthy eating choices.
If your school wants to join the Raising with Ripe Initiative, its super simple! Tell us you want to be involved and give us a contact person. Ripe will allocate your pop-up market days in our calendar. Give us some space within your school/nursery. And on the day, our team will pop –up with our market stall and delicious selection of organic fruit and veggies. Your school gets 10% of the sales to plough into growing your own veggie garden on the school grounds. What does my school need to do?
How do we get started? Once your school is on board, its all about promoting to make this initiative successful, engage the school community and get you on your way to growing your amazing onsite veggie garden. We ask you to help us promote in the following ways: Promote your market days throughout the school. Put up the Raising with Ripe Market posters onsite. Promote Ripe through your teacher parent portals. Include Ripe flyers in your parent packs. And obviously word of mouth goes a long way….talking to mums and dads about the amazing organic fruit and veggies. For more information, contact us on or us on
