Buying in season means purchasing produce when it’s ripe. These fruits and vegetables are harvested and sold in South Florida markets during these months. Their availability may vary depending on weather conditions and individual varieties. Just because you see these items for sale in a farmers market doesn’t mean they were grown in South Florida. If they’re not labeled “local,” ask the vendor where they’re from.2Heal
