Summer Seasonal Produce

May 24, 2021

Fruits and veggies are at the core of SNAP-Ed. It can be fun to purchase seasonal produce to try different flavors throughout the year and make seasonal flavorful dishes that your family will enjoy! Head to the nearest farmers markets to get seasonal fruits and veggies! They cost less when they are in season and are a great way to support local farms.

Seasonal produce in your area will vary by growing conditions and weather. Remember, fresh, frozen, canned, and dried: fruits and vegetables are a delicious way to make every bite count!
