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.
