Why buy in season?
First, you are directly impacting the farmer's bottom line in buying directly. Secondly, your local purchases of seasonal products will be at their peak freshness which means more delicious and nutritious for you and your family.
Fresh is best when you are consciously guiding your buying habits with the goal of supporting local farms. When you buy directly from your farmer when her products are a peak season you are accomplishing a lot of amazing things.
