1.29.09: I am a self proclaimed foodie. I think about food constantly. I start planning what to make for dinner as I am eating breakfast. I also love farmers and farming and going to the farmer’s market. But, I never have any idea what food is in season or what kind of produce I can and should be buying locally. So, if you are anything like me, you will greatly appreciate this guide to seasonal produce in the Mid-Atlantic region. This guide was put together by Harvard Medical Schools’ Center for Health and the Global Environment.

It is a color-coded list and each item links to a page that provides you with details about nutrient content, recipes, varieties,  and tips for storage. I also found it eye-opening how long some produce can be stored for! (Keep this in mind if you plan on doing any gleaning this summer for your Campus Kitchen.)      Enjoy!
