SeasonCart

SeasonCart is a mobile + web app that helps people source truly local, seasonal food without spending hours researching. Users set their location and dietary preferences, then see a weekly “in-season board” with produce, eggs, dairy, meat, and pantry items from nearby farms, CSAs, farmers markets, and small grocers. The app focuses on availability and pickup logistics: where to buy, when it’s open, what’s likely in stock, and rough price ranges. It also offers a simple “swap list” that suggests seasonal substitutes when a recipe calls for out-of-season items. The hard truth: getting perfect real-time inventory is unrealistic for most small farms, so the MVP relies on seller-updated listings, market schedules, and confidence scores based on historical seasonality plus recent updates. Monetization: seller subscriptions for enhanced listings and consumer optional membership for curated bundles and alerts.
