The Nutritional Benefits of Eating with the Seasons
When you eat in season, you’re not just supporting local farmers—you’re giving your body what it naturally craves. At Richfield Farms, we grow produce in tune with nature’s cycles, and there’s a good reason for that: seasonal food is better for you.
Why seasonal eating matters:
Higher nutrient density: Fruits and vegetables harvested at their peak are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The longer they sit, the more those nutrients fade.
Better taste, naturally: Seasonal produce is picked at its ripest, so it’s naturally more flavorful. You can taste the difference.
Supports your body’s rhythms: Nature offers cooling foods like cucumbers and watermelon in the summer and warming foods like squash and potatoes in the fall. Your body benefits from this alignment.
It’s more eco-friendly: Seasonal eating reduces the need for storage and long-distance shipping, which lowers your environmental impact.
When you shop with us, you’re getting what’s freshest—and what your body will thank you for.
