All of us have gotten very used to having nearly all of our favorite vegetables available to us nearly all the time. Strawberries in February, why not! The recent extreme weather throughout the country however have put this to a test. As you can see in the attached pictures, there is going to be a shortage in many of the fresh fruits and vegetables that we have grown used to. This is one more reason to try to eat local seasonal foods throughout the year. 
Many locally grown vegetables are able to store well throughout the winter months, so make sure to include, apples, potatoes, rutabagas and other ‘winter vegetables’ on your menus, they will taste great and save you some dough. There is also a great variety of locally preserved fruits as well as pickles and chutneys to add some summer flavor to your winter meals.
