Part One of Eating Seasonally

August 27, 2016 by Sherry Leave a Comment

I am going to do a blog series on Eating Seasonally. I will post lots of great recipes and how to’s for the wonderful fall produce that is readily available right now. Be sure to follow my blog so you won’t miss a post.
Every fruit and vegetable has a season that it is at it’s best and is the freshest. Foods that are grown and sold in season are usually…

Grown Locally, check with your local Extention Office in your town or county. They will be able to direct you to local farms, Farmers Markets and hobby gardeners and Master Gardeners that may have seasonal produce for sale in your area.  Here is a link that has nation wide Extention Offices listed http://www.pickyourown.org/countyextensionagentoffices.htm

Be sure to check with your neighbors, you might have a neighbor that is growing a garden in there back yard and would be excited to share the produce he grows with you. If you are willing to get a little dirty in the garden they just might welcome the help with routine garden tasks in exchange for some produce.

When you buy from a neighbor, a local small family farm, not only are you helping the family farm  and the neighbor down the street but you are helping your community to realize the value of buying local and keeping the dollars in your community instead of in the supermarkets where food is trucked long distances and picked weeks in advance of the date you purchase it.  The produce you buy from a local family farm or neighbor you will be able to ask them questions on how it was grown, and what type of pesticides they used on there garden. A great benefit is  sometimes they just might have a great recipe to share with you too.

Fruits and vegetables bought locally and in there growing season are more readily available and usually cost much less than the grocery store down the street. Buying in season during the peak growing times is the best way to eat you are getting the best and most freshest food you can give to your family.
Be sure when you buy you have a plan and find recipes that use the local produce in your area. Here is a link to my Pinterest  site that has lots of great recipes you can try. https://www.pinterest.com/sherryaparker/ While you are there be sure to follow me on Pinterest I am always adding new and exciting things to make and try.
