Summer Produce

More and more people are trying to make sure they're eating seasonally. Eating this way provides many benefits. The food tastes better and has more nutrients, it costs less, and is more likely to come from local farms. The first day of June is less than a week a way. That being said I thought I would provide a little list of foods that will be in season for June, July and August.
