Eating and shopping seasonally is a smart choice for your health, wallet, and the environment. At Deering Farms LLC, we encourage customers to embrace seasonal product availability.
1. Fresher and Tastier Produce:
Seasonal fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak, offering maximum flavor and nutrition. Freshly picked products retain more vitamins and minerals compared to out-of-season imports.
2. Cost-Effective:
When produce is in season, it’s more abundant and less expensive. Buying locally sourced seasonal products also reduces transportation costs, which are often passed on to consumers.
3. Environmentally Friendly:
Seasonal eating reduces the carbon footprint associated with importing out-of-season products. Supporting local farmers also promotes sustainable practices and strengthens the regional economy.
4. Examples of Seasonal Produce:
- Spring: Asparagus, strawberries, peas
- Summer: Tomatoes, zucchini, watermelon
- Fall: Pumpkins, apples, sweet potatoes
- Winter: Citrus fruits, kale, Brussels sprouts
By aligning your diet with nature’s cycles, you enjoy fresher meals while supporting local agriculture. Visit Deering Farms LLC to explore our range of seasonal products today!
