What’s in Season during September and October?
Seasonal Produce Series:
Eating in season in Maine offers numerous benefits that enhance your well-being and environmental sustainability. Seasonal produce is harvested at its peak ripeness, which results in better flavor and quality. The freshness of the produce also means it retains more nutrients, contributing to a healthier diet.
Additionally, seasonal produce is often more affordable due to its abundance and reduced cost of transportation and storage. Supporting local farmers by purchasing seasonal produce not only helps sustain the local economy but also reduces your foodprint.
Overall, eating seasonally supports local agriculture, boosts sustainability, and contributes to a more nutritious eating experience.
