Eating Local and Seasonal
Most produce grown in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles before it gets sold. Trucking, shipping and flying in food from around the country and the globe takes a toll on the environment and on public health. Visit the Natural Resources Defense Council to find a list of the produce in season in your region.

Strawberry Varieties in California
Strawberry harvesting begins in the fall and early winter in Southern California and moves north as the season progresses. Peak season is between April and June when all of the growing districts are in full production. However, since 50 percent of the California crop is harvested after June 1, there are still plenty of strawberries available in the late summer and fall.

Mango Varieties
Mangos are grown in tropical climates all over the world. The mangos we buy here in the U.S. come mostly from Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Guatemala and Haiti. Fortunately for us, these countries harvest their mango crops at different times of the year, which means we get to enjoy mangos all year round.

Hi Helge,

Fun program–made me hungry to taste new things and pay more attention to familiar tastes.

The Green City Market here in Chicago provides a wealth of tasting experiences. Twice a week when the market meets not only are the farmer-vendors offering tastes of their local produce and other products, there are also the chef demos (free!) that feature some of the best chefs in the city preparing dishes using the locally produced market products. I have been told that the chefs clamor for a spot on the program. They have changed the way we eat and cook for the better. An added benefit is the community building–the chance to meet the chefs, exchange greetings with them at encounters while shopping and when eating at their restaurants. Marin might consider trying to something similar.
