As part of our Local Food Program, the Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts is partnering with the Morrill Memorial Library to talk about what it means to eat seasonally in New England with Local Food Program Manager Kerry Kokkinogenis on Tuesday, November 28 at 6:30 pm in the Simoni Room.

Most cultures have ideas about which foods should be eaten during certain seasons, even if those seasons differ widely (wet or dry versus cold or hot). Many people also believe that eating seasonally is rooted both in ideas of eating healthily and eating locally. Here in New England, we have an abundance of locally grown, -harvested, and -caught foods that can make winter dinners tastier, more nutritious, and appealing to many palates. At tonight's program, we will talk about what is in season and the ways some farmers extend the growing season. Everyone will leave with a handful of local, seasonal recipes that will satisfy many different eaters.
