I like to share updates on what produce is in season produce because it helps me reduce my grocery bill. In season veggies and fruit are some of the cheapest foodstuffs you will find in your grocery store! Watch for rising prices on summer produce.

This list comes from FruitsandVeggiesMoreMatters.org, which has more info and recipes for each of the items below. My favorite fall foods are pears, Brussels sprouts (recipe here), and pomegranates. (more…)

Here is an update on what produce is currently in season and a resource for what to plant in your late summer/fall garden. The below list of in-season produce is a good indicator of what fruit and vegetables will have the best prices. Greater supply…lower prices. Plus, in-season produce is often grown closer to home than out-of-season produce, which we import from Chile, Mexico, and other countries. Expect prices for early summer fruits and vegetables to rise.

The following list of fall fruits and vegetables comes from FruitsAndVeggiesMoreMatters.org. The list includes many hardy lettuces and squashes. If you can’t remember what is in season, price is a good indication.

Acorn Squash
Belgian Endive
Broccoli (more…)
