Sustainable Harvest Newsletter
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.
