What’s in season right now? Ask a farmer.
Remember visits to your grandma's farm as a kid, pulling a carrot right from the ground and eating it even if it had a little dirt on it? Remember how good the sweet, fresh flavour tasted as you crunched into it? This weekend, take a short family field trip to St. Norbert Farmers' Market and have a fresh-from-the-ground carrot again or some other fresh-picked fruit or veggies.
