Buying your fresh produce when it is in season means fresher, better tasting food. Buying local means lowering your food's carbon miles and getting to know your local farmer. Mornington Peninsula ProduceĀ (MPP) is your sign of really fresh and really local produce.
To help you find what is in season this spring, we have shortlisted some of our favourites.
Spring highlights include green garlic - oh, so sweet, a myriad of lettuce - in a rainbow of colours, shapes and textures, crunchy peas and buttery artichokes.Ā As the days lengthen our sweet local strawberries will be ready to pick.
