🥕 What’s In Season: August 🍑
From crisp apples to juicy tomatoes, August is bursting with flavor! 🌽🍇 Whether you’re stocking your kitchen or planting your next round, here’s what to look for this month.

Eat with the seasons. Support local growers. 🌱
Fresh is always in.
#TheOutpost #Gardening

Why local food just hits different:
It’s harvested closer, kept cleaner, and grown with more care.
Better for your health, better for your community. 🌱🥕

Strawberries & apples? Not berries. 🍓🍎
Bananas? Definitely berries. 🍌
Turns out most fruit isn’t what you think—you’re eating flower parts.
Nature’s wild.

We’re heading for a food crisis. Farms are short on workers, food is rotting in fields, tariffs are hitting beef, oranges & supplies—and grocery prices keep rising. Now’s the time to build relationships with your local farmers. Support small, eat local, and stay ahead.

🌱 Who needs a bank when you’ve got a seed library like this?! 🙌
✨ Take what you need. Share what you have. Grow something beautiful.

Most food travels over 1,500 miles to reach your plate.
Local food? Usually under 50. 🌍🥕
Fewer miles = fresher food + stronger communities.
Shop close. Eat better.

Me getting into an Uber:
“Hey, how’s it going?”

Me getting out of an Uber:
“So this fall, kill the grass, lay cardboard, mulch it, then plant veggies by spring. Add fruit trees around the edge, nitrogen fixers below, and don’t forget a rain garden + pollinator patch. You got this!”

That just makes you the OG. 🫡🌱
