Lets get down to it- Local Food just tastes better and supporting your local farmer has benefits to our whole community. However, we each have our favorite foods. This page will attempt to help you find those (peaches, tomatoes, etc) at the peak of their season.
First, the when... check out the calendar at pickyourown.org. For those who really want to support local food and farms- consider joining a Community Supported Agriculture farm.
Next, find your local farmers market, or search by food item at Maryland's Best. Check out their recipes section as well. To see just Montgomery County Specific Markets, check out MoCo's Department of Agriculture. Another great resource is Local Harvest.
What do you do with all that great stuff once you buy local? One Acre Farm has a great collection of recipes.
