What’s In-Season Beets, brussel sprouts, carrots, cabbage, celery,

pumpkin, winter squash, turnips, greens (collards,

kale, lettuces, spinach, radishes, bok choy)

Why eat Local/ In-Season Health Benefits: Local, in-season food is fresher,

more nutritious, and tastes better. Think of

Strawberries in May and June compared to

strawberries in September, which tastes better?

Economic: Buying local foods supports local farmers

and businesses

Environmental: In-season produce from local farms is

not transported as far as nonlocal foods; therefore, less

energy is used and less CO2 emissions are released.

Furthermore, supporting local farms helps to preserve

green space in our community.
