What's in Season

No matter what the season is, there is always local produce to be found. Some products are grown year-round in high tunnel greenhouses while others are only available during their harvest season.

The table below offers the availability of vegetables and fruits in the Washington Metropolitan Region whether in season, out of season via warehousing (apples, potatoes, etc.) or grown locally in greenhouse and high-tunnel operations. Search for other regional products and their availability via the Search for Local Foods / Services box (LINK) on the NCF homepage.
