Blueberries Ripen in June in South Alabama
Depending upon the season, as much as 70% of the fruit and vegetables that Americans eat is imported. That doesn't mean that American farmers can't grow food year round. What it means is that certain foods are only available in their ripest, most nutritious form during certain times of the year.
Would you consider planning your "food calendar" around the produce that your local CSA could provide?
It would give incentive to your local growers to know there is a market for what they can produce and it would bring the spirituality of delayed gratification to your life.
What ever happened to canning?
It's still out there. You may need to find resources such as the generosity of "Ask Jackie" at Backwoods Home Magazine.
It is a technology that has not passed away and provides a freshness of flavor that is different from "frozen food."
