@ChristinaMinniti Hi. Our farmers markets in the Bay Area do run all year long. In areas with real seasons, people get creative about eating locally. (Check out the book “No Impact Man” to find out what he ate in NYC in the winter.) I would imagine that the produce from the shop down the street is imported from far away? Let me know if that’s not right. But are there winter vegetables like cabbage, etc. that are not wrapped in plastic? One strategy is to figure out what is in season and try to stick to those foods in the winter, although it could leave you with not much variety. Another strategy is to see if there is anyone in your area growing produce in the winter and connect with them… or try growing some of your own greens yourself. Things like kale and chard are super easy to grow and like cool (but not freezing cold) weather. Other people can produce in glass during the summer to have in the winter. I don’t have a car either and either take the bus or my bike to Whole Foods. It just requires planning ahead.

Hi Beth,

I was wondering, does your Farmer’s Market run all year long? I recently moved from Phoenix AZ (where Farmer’s markets have pretty much anything you could want all year around), to Salem MA. And, I’ve found that my Farmer’s market not only stops selling fruit in November and December (doh) but actually closes altogether from Jan-Jun. I don’t have a car, so I usually shop at the small grocer down the street rather than bus it to a Whole Foods. The problem is, all of their greens and much of their produce is in plastic. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

@chuck_ I follow a Japanese trick: peel and slice the ginger, pour sake over it, and store it in a glass container in the fridge. Lasts forever and adds a slight umami flavoring which is nice in almost everything.
