The little windbag exhales.....

So after last week's little diatribe about how this current tech-savvy generation has lost touch with Seasonal, Local Food I did some research......I thought the internet would be chock full of information, complete with pretty photos of Harvest Charts for every corner of the globe.....not so much.......

pickyourown.org is one of the only websites i could find, providing harvest information by State and Season, and where to go about getting your hands on the good stuff...they even have icons for Canadian provinces - yay!

The New York Farmer's Market Association
nyfarmersmarket.com site is also impressive with a wonderful link to nyapplecountry.com which lists over 50 kinds of the forbidden fruit and when they are ripe for the pickin'! there are even some less known, heirlooms to check out....mmmmmmm!!

San Fransisco has a beautiful market page ferryplazafarmersmarket.com as do the British Columbia Association of Farmer's Markets.....

In any of you know of more sites, please let me know....the research and report shall continue!!

Like the folks of Flying Pigs Market say :"No Farms, No Food"

Hey Booooobie...

Nice post. Here's a link to a coffee seasonality chart. People forget: coffee is a seed that comes from a fruit and fruits have seasons! If you want to have fresh, delicious coffee, you need to pay attention to the calendar... luckily, because it's grown on both sides of the equator, you can get fresh coffee year-round.

This chart is a little hard to read, but it's the best one I could find....
