As local farmers markets make plans to open for the growing season, shoppers can plan ahead by knowing what is available at different times of the year.
The K-State Research and Extension Buying Guide for Kansas-Grown Fruits and Vegetables is a great tool to help you choose many nutritious seasonal fruits and vegetables. Local farmers can also answer questions about the foods they grow to help you try something new or find a new way to enjoy the tasty treats. Within the publication are charts you can print out for a handy reference.
