June Harvest

Now that summer is officially here, the best way to ensure you are buying local foods it to visit our local farmer's markets. While visiting markets, these are the fruits and vegetables you want to be looking out for during the month of June.

Vegetables:
  • Aparagus, Bokchoy, Beans (Green/Wax), Brocolli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Field Cucumber, Kale, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Onions (Cooking/Green), Peas (Green/Snow), Peppers, Radicchio, Radishes, Rutabaga, Spinach, Sprouts, Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes, Turnips
Fruits: 
  • Apples, Cherries, Rhubarb, Strawberries
The closer we get to July, you will find a greater variation in fresh fruits and vegetables. Things get more colourful and a lot more delicious! Time to start cooking.
