In Season in May
If you are going to buy organic fruit and vegetables then you will probably want to buy what is currently in season. That way you’ll get the freshest and best quality produce at reasonable prices. If you choose produce which is in season you can buy locally, meaning less transport costs which is, of course, better for the environment, as well as supporting local farmers.
