Why eat in season?There's a reason Locavore was the 2007 Oxford Word of the Year. Eating fruits and vegetables at the time of harvest means you're eating them when they're fresh, have traveled less and have been stored less. That means a tastier food that has typically required fewer resources to reach you. For instance, a blueberry in April (from Florida) to September (from Michigan) will arrive fresher -- and cheaper -- than its counterpartflown in from South America during the winter.
Summer, when so much food is being harvested, is easier than other seasons. Here's some help with the rest of the calendar:
