I just spent about 30 ish (minimum) minutes making a chart in my notes app on my phone of all the local produce seasonality so that it’ll make my life easier when making menus and shopping for produce at the farmer’s market.
I would love to base my menus around seasonal foods so that they taste best and are the best quality I can get because everything at the farmers market is from local farms.
Living in NC is great (despite the heat and ridiculous thunderstorms) and having a farmers market 15 minutes away just adds to the list of reasons I love it here.
