Welcome to month three of my Monthly Seasonal Produce Guides!
March signals the gentle arrival of spring. After the quiet winter months, nature slowly begins to wake up again.
At the farmer’s market, colourful stalls start to fill with fresh seasonal produce — bright citrus fruits, sweet early strawberries, and vibrant leafy greens. Kale, spinach, and young spring onions make their way onto the shelves, all packed with flavour and freshness.
If you’re wondering which fruits and vegetables are in season in March, here’s a full list of the produce you can enjoy this month.
