What’s in Season Where You Are?
It’s early April here on the East Coast, and I’ve been gradually “eating down the freezer,” getting rid of the last vestiges of the summer and fall foods we froze for winter eating. Aside from a few containers of soup and some pink grapefruit sorbet I made last week from a bag of beautiful, sweet grapefruit I bought for less than two dollars because of an amazing overstock at my local grocery, we’re nearly ready for the fruits and veggies of spring.
So what’s coming into season where you are? If you don’t know yet, check out this fantastic resource provided by the Natural Resources Defense Council. Simply use the pull-down menus to select a state and a season. You’ll see what’s in season in your area, from the field, the hothouse, or from storage. You’ll also see what’s available from neighboring states. In addition, you’ll find a recipe of the month, a link to find the farmer’s markets nearest you, links to neighboring state resources, and much more.
Happy spring, and season’s eatings!

Thanks for the resource, that is very handy.
I’m also on the east coast, and am really looking forward to spring. It seems like forever since I was able to get some local, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Not to mention with the recent push for ‘going green’, getting local stuff is much more favorable than shipping it in.

Glad you found this helpful! I was excited to find this resource, particularly as it includes neighboring states, so even if nothing is coming out of the ground in our immediate area, we don’t necessary have to eat something that traveled a thousand miles to get to the grocery store.
Thanks for reading!
All best,
Sandy
