How do I know whats in season when my grocery store carries all the usual fruit varieties all year round?
Reply: While fewer Americans seem to be concerned with buying “in season” crops of locally grown fruits and vegetables, as consumers we prefer to continue to support American growers by buying our produce in season. Check the labels on the displays in your grocery store. The reason you can find produce “out of season” may be because it has been imported from the southern hemisphere. For a guide when to expect seasonal fruit crops, see the Washington State Soft Summer Fruit In Season availability chart – http://www.nwcherries.com/varieties.html and our Washington State Apple and Pear availability chart – http://www.fruitfromwashington.com/Varieties/harvseas.
