What is seasonal food? Seasonal meal is produce that is purchased and consumed around the time that it is harvested. Why is it necessary to eat meal that’s in season? Studies indicate that seasonal meal can be fresher, tastier and more nutritious than meal consumed out of season. Seasonal fruits and vegetables produced on local farms are often fresher, as they do not require long distances for transport. Also, unlike out of season produce which is harvested early in order to be shipped and distributed to your local retail shop, crops picked at their peak ripeness are full of flavor. Studies also present that fruits and vegetables may include more nutrients when allowed to ripen naturally on their parent plant. Why is eating local meal important? ● Purchasing local meal benefits the environment and helps help local farms in your community. A latest USDA study also found that direct-to-consumer producers were less likely to apply pesticides and herbicides to control weeds and insects than conventional producers (with the exception of chemicals to control insects and weeds in fruit, nut and berry crops). ● By purchasing local meal, you’re supporting your community! The cash you spend on products from local farmers and growers stays in the community and is reinvested with another local businesses, which generates jobs and subsequently stimulates local economies. ● Local growers can tell you how your meal was grown. When you buy directly from farmers, you have the occasion to ask what practices they use to raise and harvest the crops, enhancing consumer transparency around the steps it takes to receive our meal from farm to table.
