Common questions
- What fruits and vegetables are in season in spring?
- The USDA lists 28 in season during spring. 11 of them are at their best in spring specifically rather than being available most of the year: apricots, asparagus, blackberries, broccoli, lettuce, mushrooms, pineapples, radishes, rhubarb, spinach.
- Where do I buy spring produce?
- A farmers market, a farm stand, or a CSA share. We list 7,294 markets nationally, and our season pages show which are open in spring in your state.
- Does this vary by state?
- Considerably. These are national windows from the USDA, and a Georgia harvest can run weeks ahead of a Vermont one. Treat it as the shape of the year rather than a local calendar.
