Tue Mar 16 13:32:44 -0800 2004 0 charlotte kaiser 1 1633195 June is going to be different from August, from year to year, and it's going to vary a lot depending on where you are. Perhaps you should try the appropriate regional board for the area you're interested in. I know on the SF board people post regular updates about what's currently available at the local farmers' markets, so you could also find the info by searching old posts for the dates you're interested in.

I found a place that puports to list all the farmers' markets and I have included a link. You might also want to check out any local Community Supported Agriculture farms in your area to find out what's coming your way. I miss my CSA but it was just too much food and I am not a canner. Here is a list of how things work at the CSA I may just have to join again now that I see their options: http://www.springhillcommunityfarm.com/shcfinourfields.html Link: http://www.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets/map.htm Tue Mar 16 14:26:55 -0800 2004 1633193 0 venus_de_mpls 1 1633208 Try this link: Link: http://www.seasonalchef.com/ Tue Mar 16 14:40:06 -0800 2004 1633193 0 Nancy Berry 1 1633210 Here are some links to various regions' seasonal produce charts: http://www.bcfarmersmarket.org/web/shoppers/seasonalchart.htm www.nutritioncouncil.org/pdf/healthy/SeasonalProduce.pdf http://www.producepete.com/whatsin.html http://www.cafarmersmarkets.org/consumer/inseason.shtml http://www.epicurious.com/e_eating/e02_ripe/ripe.html http://www.kqed.org/topics/home/cooking/whats-in-season.jsp Tue Mar 16 14:54:45 -0800 2004 1633193 0 Nancy Berry 1 1633212 Today's "Cooking with Kim O'Donnel" chat at washingtonpost.com addressed CSAs quite a bit, which might give you some insight into seasonal produce as suggested. Also, for an online guide to produce (care, storage, etc.), someone in the chat recommended: http://www.aboutproduce.com/ Link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A53478-2004Mar12.html Tue Mar 16 15:26:27 -0800 2004 1633193 0 T in DC 1 1633331 Here's a chart of what's harvested when in the NYC area Link: http://www.cenyc.org/HTMLGM/harvestcalendar.html Wed Mar 17 14:19:21 -0800 2004 1633193 0 Brandy
