Foods in Season
I took this information from the May 12th Chicago Sun-Times article "2010 Farmers Market Guide". I figure that it will be useful in the months ahead to allow us to know what to expect from our local farmers market and also to plan meals at The Mansfield. If we can eat seasonally from local producers then we are one step closer to achieving our aim.
What's in season
MAY Asparagus, greens, herbs, leaf lettuce, pod peas, radishes, rhubarb, spinach, strawberries, watercress
JUNE Asparagus, green beans, greens, herbs, lettuce, mushrooms, pea pods, pod peas, radishes, rhubarb, snap peas, spinach, strawberries
JULY Beets, blackberries, blueberries, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, sweet and sour cherries, corn, cucumbers, red currants, eggplant, fava beans, fennel, garlic, green beans, greens, herbs, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, lima beans, muskmelon, okra, onions, parsnips, peaches, pears, peppers, potatoes, radishes, raspberries, shell beans, spinach, summer apples, summer squash, tomatoes, turnips, watermelon
