Why Buy Seasonal
Environmental Impact
Buying seasonal vegetables and fruits can lower your carbon footprint. They don’t need to be shipped far or grown in energy-heavy greenhouses. Buying British veg in season also means fewer pesticides and fertilisers because the climate naturally supports their growth.
Support Local
Buying seasonal fruit and vegetables helps support local farmers. Suppliers usually ship out-of-season produce in from other regions or countries. By choosing to buy seasonal produce, you help local producers sell what they grow in your area.
Fresher and Healthier
Whilst buying seasonal fruit and veg helps reduce your carbon footprint. It also means the produce travels a shorter distance from local farms to your home. This means that your ingredients will be fresher and have greater longevity.
It will also be healthier because local food suppliers won’t need to use chemical preservatives. This helps prevent spoiling during transport.
