Eating with the Seasons

Posted on June 1st, 2020 by Noah Sanders

In Alabama one of the benefits of the climate is that we can enjoy fresh produce year round. Right now we are close to shifting from the winter/spring season of roots and greens to the summer season of fruits like squash, beans, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers. For me eating with the seasons helps me appreciate each crop, from the first ripe tomato to the first spinach leaf. It also helps us to keep our diet diverse, which gives us a better balance of nutrients for our health. Be on the lookout as our summer crops start to come in. This week we plan to plant okra and sweet potatoes!
