What's in season?

Now that the food sold in grocery stores is flown in from California, Chile, and other far away places, I find we're so removed from what's in season and being grown locally.

One way to get in touch with what's in season is to shop at your local famers' market.

I love shopping at my local farmers' market in Carrboro because the food is fresh and delicious. Plus, I have the added benefit of supporting local farmers and the environment. I encourage you to find a farmers' market in your area. You can find one by going to http://www.localharvest.org/

Here's what's currently being sold at the Carrboro Farmers' Market:

• Asparagus
• Green Onions
• Green Garlic
• Greenhouse Strawberries
• Broccoli
• Collards
• Turnips
• Beets
• Sweet Potatoes
• Chard
• Kale
• Spinach
• Lettuce
• Arugula
• Mustard Greens
