The Joy of Seasonal Eating: Why Farm-Fresh Produce Matters

Eating with the seasons isn’t just a culinary trend—it’s a way of life that supports health, sustainability, and local agriculture. When you choose farm-fresh produce, you’re not only getting the most flavorful and nutritious ingredients, but you’re also strengthening your connection with the land and your community. At Morning Glory Farm, we celebrate the beauty of each season by offering a diverse selection of fresh vegetables, fruits, and farm products year-round.

The Benefits of Seasonal Eating

1. Superior Taste & Nutrition: Farm-fresh, in-season produce is harvested at its peak, meaning you get the best flavors and the highest nutrient content. Unlike store-bought produce that may travel long distances, local vegetables and fruits retain their taste and health benefits.

2. Supporting Local Farmers: Buying from your local farmstand ensures that small-scale farmers can continue growing high-quality, sustainable crops. Your purchase helps maintain a thriving agricultural community.

3. Environmentally Friendly: Seasonal eating reduces the need for long-distance transportation, lowering carbon footprints. It also supports eco-friendly farming practices, such as crop rotation and soil conservation.

What’s in Season?

At Morning Glory Farm, our offerings change throughout the year to reflect nature’s bounty:

• Spring: Tender greens, asparagus, radishes, peas, and fresh herbs.
• Summer: Juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, berries, and melons.
• Fall: Pumpkins, squash, apples, root vegetables, and hearty greens.
• Winter: Storage crops like potatoes, onions, winter squash, and preserved farm goods.

More Than Just Produce: A Complete Farm Experience

In addition to our fresh fruits and vegetables, we offer locally baked artisan breads and hand-picked flower bouquets as part of our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares. This allows our community to enjoy a variety of farm products while directly supporting sustainable farming.
