Common questions
- What fruits and vegetables are in season in summer?
- The USDA lists 38 in season during summer. 24 of them are at their best in summer specifically rather than being available most of the year: apricots, bell peppers, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, cherries, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, green beans.
- Where do I buy summer 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 summer 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.
