Fresh from Florida is Always in Season

One of the many perks about living in Florida is that we can get Florida grown fruits and vegetables year round. Yes, seasons and availability change, but it is always harvest season for something delicious and local. We seldom have a harsh winter, and one good freeze sweetens a lot of the fruit. This winter lasted about 2 days and here in the Tampa Bay area we didn’t even have frost! How crazy is that? Due to our year round balmy climate, locally grown fruits and vegetables are always in season.

My top 3 favorite Fresh From Florida produce items are all in season right now! I regularly stop by my favorite farmers market to pick up strawberries, tomatoes, and sweet corn! March is also a great month for bell peppers, cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, oranges, grapefruit, guava, squash and several more fruits and veggies.

I have some friends who work in the Florida citrus business and I’ve seen how hard they work so that we can have locally sourced produce on our tables. It is easy to walk into a farmers market or grocery store and find the Fresh from Florida label on the healthy foods my family needs. I love that I can support my fellow Floridians by buying Florida grown produce, all year long.

The Fresh from Florida website is a great resource to learn about Florida agriculture. It is also a great place to find new and unique recipes for the Florida produce that is in season at any given time. Just visit the “Let’s Cook” page on the website and right now you can click on “winter” to find recipes for this season’s Fresh from Florida produce. This Florida Tomato Stacker Salad looks like something from a high end recstaurant, but you can make it right in your own kitchen.

I don’t want you to miss out on any of our Fresh from Florida produce so make sure you look for it at your local grocery store and Follow the Fresh on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest for recipes and other Fresh from Florida information.
