Seasonal Eating Guide

LOCAL FOOD

Eating Locally = Eating with the Seasons

Did you know the average meal travels 2,000 miles before it gets to our plate?

Not only is local food fresher and more nutritious, it tastes better! Biting into that first local strawberry, savoring a sweet local cherry tomato or the freshest caught wild salmon, there’s just nothing like it.

To help you get started, we’ve compiled this handy season-by-season guide that can introduce you to what’s fresh and in season throughout the year. Have fun… and bon appétit!

Available Year-Round beans, dried beef beets cabbage carrots dairy products: butter, cheese, milk, yogurt eggs kale halibut and black cod hazelnuts herbs honey lamb mushrooms pork potatoes poultry soup bones salmon (flash frozen from Alaska) shell fish (farmed) sprouts … and, locally-crafted foods, from bread and jam to tea and wine!

Winter apples & pears beets crab garlic kale & chard leeks parsnips potatoes sweet potatoes winter squash christmas trees & wreaths

Ask for more local: Can’t find a product you want locally? Talk to your favorite farmer and let them know you’d buy it if they produced it OR ask the restaurant or grocery manager to start carrying your favorite local products. Your requests make a difference!

Find farms that have adopted sustainable agricultural practices that benefit salmon streams or soil health. Find restaurants and retailers who have pledged to buy more local food, reduce waste or save energy in their businesses.

Bellingham Farmers Market The heart of our mission is to support local agriculture.

Beyond that, we also strive to support community. Eating local not only connects us to our food, but it connects us to each other and it is a natural extension of the inspiration we hope we instill in our customers each week.
