As always, buy locally grown and in-season products as often as possible. You are doing much to help your local economy, not to mention helping your body—by the time one consumes vegetables and fruits shipped in from around the globe, they are not actually fresh and the nutritional value has declined tremendously. Also, once you start eating local, seasonal food, you will taste the difference and your taste buds will beg you to always humor them with great food!
Remember also that you are cutting down on your carbon footprint by making the choice to eat this way! To think of how much energy is consumed in shipping products from one part of the planet to another is mind-boggling. There are many statistics written about this and they are very depressing, but sometimes the truth hurts. Do your bit.
