Enjoying all the local produce your farmer’s market has to offer? Buy a little extra to freeze for off season use.

The strawberries you pick now will make excellent smoothies in the fall. Blanch green beans before freezing and use them for your Thanksgiving green bean casserole.

The Green Guide from National Geographic has great instructions for freezing fresh produce.

Not only are you supporting local farmers, but you’ll cut down on the miles your food has traveled to get to your table.
