Supporting Local Means Eating Seasonal
Most of us are accustomed to the grocery store, where every type of fruit and vegetable is stocked year-round. Locally, those products are only available in season, and the rest of the year they are shipped in from somewhere else in the world.
In spring and fall, available crops are varieties that like shorter hours of light, cooler temperatures, and even frost. In summer, crops are harvested that prefer long, hot days. Don’t see a vegetable you’re looking for? It may not be in season.
Join the Hub today and start sourcing your good food locally!
