Get Fresh!

Sitting around the dinner table one night - after our older son said that he was “thankful for all the veggies in the garden” - my husband and I started talking about how to get the kids even more involved and excited about all the vegetables in our garden (there has been a marked increase in our boys’ vegetable consumption this year - which we attribute completely and totally to our home garden)...he made a comment about how it would be nice to have a visual to hang on the refrigerator to show them when different fruits and vegetables were in season...

Turns out, there is a GREAT visual for seasonal fruits and vegetables in North Carolina - which, after digging around, I realized that I’d already shared it with my readers......BUT it was way back in 2008, so I figure there’s no harm in posting it again. And for those of you outside of NC, here’s a link to get you started (also previously posted)...

If nothing else - these guides can be used to determine which types of produce you should be buying at the store...if it’s in season, there’s a good chance it’s cheaper AND locally grown - for those keeping score, that’s considered win-win!!
