Nature provides a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and livestock products throughout the year in our local area. Some foods have their own seasons while others are available year-round.

Informed consumers can choose a healthy, environmentally sound diet by simply substituting locally grown fruits and vegetables that are in season for foods that have traveled hundreds or even thousands of miles. Fruits and vegetables that are in season at different times of the year can provide many of the essential vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy diet.

Buying locally will provide you with high quality products. You can expect to purchase food and products that are fresher, riper and tastier than products that have traveled great distances to get to the market. Enhanced flavor, improved nutrition and increased variety are real Calaveras gold.

Look for the CalaverasGROWN logo to be assured that the products you select are locally grown and in season.
