What Produce is In Season? Click here to consult the What's In Season growing chart to find out when your favorites might be ready for consumption. Please note that not all of our vendors have each type of fruit or vegetable available from their farms! However, this should help you when you’re planning meals for your table. Factors such as rain can keep farmers from producing what they usually expect at certain times of year. In addition, some farmers specialize in some of the produce and do not grow others. Check with the vendors when you visit the market, and feel free to bring a printed copy of this chart to use as an advisory. Our vendors will be happy to go through the chart with you, to let you know what they have at their particular farms. Remember to ask the vendors which items they grow, so that you have an idea. All of our vendors are happy to discuss their products! |
