A garden serves as one source of food for those helping to make the meal in Our Little Kitchen. Even if you don’t have a garden, or even if it is a time of year when garden food is not plentiful in your area, one way to be a conscious consumer is to eat food that is in season and grows locally. Do you know what fruits and vegetables grow in each season where you live? Make a list of five or more fruits or vegetables that grow in each season in your area. How would eating only these foods when they are in season be different from the way you normally eat? What would you enjoy about eating seasonally and locally? What would you not enjoy?
