City of Woodbury, MN - Government

This class will be held next Wed, 7/24 from 10 to 12 in St. Paul, thanks to NAMI, Minnesota.

Why eat seasonally? Eating seasonal food means that you are purchasing and consuming food closest to it's harvest time. When we eat foods that are in season, they are likely being transported from local farms, instead of across multiple borders. Therefore, these foods are fresher, tastier and more nutrient dense.

Seasonal produce in Minnesota in early July includes:
Asparagus
Basil
Beets
Berries
Broccoli
Cabbage
Carrots
Zucchini
.... and MUCH more!

Check out seasonalfoodguide.org for more information of seasonally grown foods.
Thanks to Ways to Wellness for this helpful reminder, to Seasonal Food Guide for the list and to Lean Girls Club for the artwork.
