Seasonal Produce

There a number of good reasons to eat more local, seasonal food:

• to reduce the energy (and associated CO2 emissions) needed to grow and transport the food we eat

• to avoid paying a premium for food that is scarcer or has travelled a long way

• to support the local economy

• to reconnect with nature’s cycles and the passing of time

but, most importantly, because

• seasonal food is fresher and so tends to be tastier and more nutritious
