Seasonal Eating Guide

LOCAL FOOD

Eating Locally = Eating with the Seasons

At a time where we can find most products in grocery stores year round (hello tomatoes in the middle of winter!), eating locally is about shifting the way we think about and buy food. Start with a few items, and build your seasonal repertoire with ease. To help you get started, we’ve compiled this handy peak-of the-season guide that offers an opportunity to connect what’s on your plate with what’s coming out of the ground or waters right near our home!

Find fresh produce and meats year-round – the payoffs are rich in flavor and nutrition.

There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh off the vine tomatoes, or sinking your teeth into that first strawberry of the season. Enjoy and savor the peak of each delectable item!

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!

Spring

Summer

arugula & salad mix asparagus baby carrots and beets crab greens: spinach, bok choy, mustards & more! green garlic + scapes leeks oysters peas radishes rhubarb flowers: tulips and daffodils

albacore beans, green beets berries galore!

-blackberries: Aug/Sept -blueberries: July/August -raspberries: July -strawberries: June broccoli cauliflower cherries corn cucumbers fennel leafy greens lettuce onions peaches tomatoes tomatillos zucchini & summer squash spot prawns, side stripe shrimp salmon – King, Sockeye sardines (Pacific) …flowers galore!

Fall apples & pears artichokes beans, dried beets broccoli Brussels sprouts celery & celeriac cider eggplant garlic grapes kohlrabi onions potatoes peppers pumpkins salmon: Coho, Pink & Keta shallots sweet potatoes turnips & rutabagas wheat berries winter squash

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 farm and wild products. Your requests make a difference!

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

Let your farmers, chefs and grocers know that you care about the commitments they undertake for the health of our home!

Eat Local First Sponsor Highlight

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.

Community Food Co-op – As Bellingham’s only community owned grocery stores, we have featured locally grown produce for over 40 years. Sustainable Connections does a great job communicating the overall values of thinking local, so when they announced plans for a campaign aimed at eating locally we jumped at the chance to work with them.

Haggen – Food & Pharmacy is proud to carry products from Washington companies, supporting the farmers, ranchers, fishers and food producers who make up our own community. We’ve been showcasing and celebrating our region’s wide variety of quality-focused food creators since 1933, and are pleased to be a part of this active, vital network.

CREDITS The 2015-2016 Whatcom Food & Farm Finder is 59 lovingly created each year by the Food & Farming Program at Sustainable Connections www.Sustainableconnections.org.
