Have you heard about the Locavore iPhone App? This is a brilliant new app which displays fruits and veggies currently in season where you live.

As with many iPhone apps, it is total cool geekines. One thing which makes it geeky sweet is that it automatically picks up your location and with one click, brings up a handy dandy list of various vegetables and fruits currently in season. It also lists those that will soon be available in your neck of the hood.

You can also grab info on local farmers markets. So if you’re planning a trip this weekend to the city market, check with the app and see what is good and new in your hometown.

How does it work? The Locavore iPhone app basically gathers and aggregates info from various trusted web sources, such as the NRDC food miles database and from Local Harvest.

Check out the complete list of features below.

Features:

• Automatically detects which state you’re in (currently only covers the US)
• Food that’s in season near you
• Food that’s coming in season near you soon

The app is great for vegetarians (and vegans) who want to keep up with local produce. And if you’re traveling and want to know what is in season elsewhere, the phone will pick up the location and let you know.
