15 May Taste the First Veggies of Spring - BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program Nugget potatoes, leafy lettuce, radishes, green onions, tender spinach are the first vegetables produced by BC farmers. They should be available soon in a store or farmers market near you. Watch for them and enjoy the taste of spring. Springtime is also Time to Plant a Seed for Good Health Plant a Family Garden A great way to introduce children to nutrient and fibre rich vegetables is to involve them in planting and caring for a family garden. No space for a backyard garden? Try a simple windowsill garden or gardening in pots on the balcony or patio. One pot could hold a variety of greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula, parsley, chard) for salads and sandwiches. Pick local fruits and vegetables Wash fruits and vegetables before eating Enjoy the taste of local fruits and vegetables This program uses BC produce whenever possible. Top Reasons to Buy Local Locally grown food tastes better (it hasn t lost flavor in getting here from far away and long term storage. Local produce is better for you (it hasn t lost nutrients during transportation and storage like produce that has spent a week getting here). Local food preserves genetic diversity) local farms grow a large number of varieties. Local food supports local farmers (consuming local food helps keep farm families doing the work they love). Local food builds community (relationships develop with food producers when people seek out local foods, support farmers markets, community gardens, and other food projects). Local food preserves open space (when farmers can make a living from their land, it is less likely to be sold off for development). Local food supports a clean environment and benefits wildlife (in general, farmers are stewards of the land). Local food is about the future (supporting local farmers ensures the farm will be there to produce nourishing, flavourful food in the future).
