What's in season near you — and why it matters

Eating seasonally used to mean knowing exactly what grows when. FreshEddy makes it simple: what your local farms list is what's good right now.

Why seasonal is better Food harvested in its natural season is picked at peak ripeness, travels a short distance, and costs less because it's abundant. Out-of-season produce is usually shipped from far away and picked early.

A rough guide through the year - Spring: leafy greens, asparagus, radishes, herbs, strawberries - Summer: tomatoes, corn, berries, peppers, stone fruit - Fall: squash, apples, root vegetables, greens - Winter: hardy greens, storage crops, preserves, eggs and meat year-round

Let the marketplace guide you Instead of memorizing charts, just shop what's listed near you. If a grower has it fresh, it's in season — and it'll taste like it.
