What fruit is in season now new york

Ever tried to buy strawberries at a local New York produce market in March, only to find they’re not available? That’s because although they can be found in grocery stores for most of the year, it’s truly in season in the summer, between May and July.

Our network of Greenmarket farmers markets, Farmstands, and Fresh Food Box sites, coupled with GrowNYC Wholesale, ensures that all New Yorkers have access to the freshest, healthiest local food.

Eating local in New York can mean a lot of things—locally brewed beer, locally baked bread from locally grown grain, locally roasted coffee (though the beans themselves are not, obviously, grown in the Empire State). Here, we limit ourselves to locally grown fruits and vegetables.

A later harvest, a shorter growing season, and a long harvest of cool-weather crops as winter creeps from Upstate down defines New York seasonality. Exact crop availability and harvest times vary region-to-region and year-to-year, but this summary will help you know when to look for what at New York farmers markets near you.
