Learning to eat in rhythm with the seasons will also attune you to your body’s special needs. Root vegetables are grounding and are perfect for times when we are moving indoors during winter, while greens abundant in spring are cleansing and appropriate for reemergence. Explore where to shop, what to buy, the distinctions between confusing terms such as “natural” and “organic” and ideas for simple ways to preserve summer’s harvest. Each participant will come away with enthusiasm for becoming dedicated “locavore.”
