Fall Produce

I'm feeling like a very forgetful blogger indeed. It's been far to long since I've posted, checked in, or really done much on line at all besides haunt facebook and my email. Being as this is a season of much change I really feel like I've rediscovered my creativity and voice and while it's here I'm sure as hell going to use it. So to kick us off I thought I'd fill you in on the lovely produce that is available this time of year. As always if I've left anything out, please let me know!

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.
