EARLY
Yellow Romano Beans
Grown by Zaid in Norwich, NY
Yellow Romano Beans have landed, a sign that summer is in full swing. These beans grow thinner and more tender than run-of-the-mill Romanos – partly due to varietal selection, partly due to the effect of gravity as they grow on trellises, not toughened by contact with the ground.
Growing these tender beans requires threading a fine line: when the sun is too intense, the beans' delicate skins can be easily damaged. However, these beans thrive in the heat, developing sugars and flavor in the height of the summer months.
PEAK
Sun Sweet Melon
Grown Oscar in Mantua, IT
We’re nearly halfway through the season for Sun Sweet Melon. While the early season fruits benefit from slower growth over the cooler months, peak season brings melons kissed by the blistering heat in Mantua. Dense with sugars, juices are overflowing in the firm flesh.
Now grown outdoors, Oscar’s primary focus is on the water intake of each fruit. The clay soils naturally retain water, which the melon plants are skilled at seeking out. The result: the melons grow quickly, and their flavor is diluted. Oscar skillfully limits the amount of water as much as possible, while still meeting the essential needs of the plant. He covers them with plastic sheeting and elevates his fruits into mounds so any rainwater drains away.
LATE
Local Fava Beans
Grown by Samer and Diane in Rock Tavern, NY
Just a few days remain for local Fava Beans. Despite recent heat waves, these are maintaining their meaty, plump texture with minimal starchiness. Our network of growers takes great care in picking these at the right time, ensuring the beans have ample time on the vine to develop flavor and sugars.
Earlier cool spells followed by a sharp rise in temperature created ideal growing conditions: The pods developed slowly, building up sugars, and then swelled in the heat, yielding a harvest that is both abundant and intensely sweet.
Go Deeper
See all
We exist to fix the food system.
People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavor, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.
By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.
Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
Go beyond four seasons
Each fruit and vegetable has its own season, with subtle shifts which happen every day. Follow their microseasons to unlock flavor at every stage.
