    What's in Season?

    We make our home in the US Pacific Northwest. Your local seasonal crops may be different than those listed here, depending on your location. In the US, click to check what's in season in your state.

    December harvests look a lot like November, at least in the Pacific NW. Many root vegetables produce into December. Look for fresh celeriac, parsnips, turnips, potatoes, and rutabagas in stores and at farm stands.

    Other vegetables and fruits in season in December include apples, arugula, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cranberries, fennel, horseradish, kale, leeks, mushrooms,  rosemary, sage, shallots, and winter squashes.

    Blushin' Russian (Cocktail or Mocktail)

    It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.
