About InSeasonChart

InSeasonChart answers one question, crop by crop: when is it actually in season on the market in the United States, and does that differ by growing state?

A search for "when are strawberries in season" mostly turns up recipe intros, general produce charts with no source, or forum answers. Those often blur two different questions — when a crop is picked and when it is typically for sale — and rarely say which state or region a month range applies to. We only cover market availability: when you can expect to find something at its peak. We do not cover planting schedules or harvest-timing decisions for growers.

Where the numbers come from

• National season windows are quoted from USDA Economic Research Service Fruit and Tree Nuts Outlook reports and Charts of Note. Each quote sits under the figure, with a link to the report and the date we read it.
• A crop is only listed when two independent sources cover the same place: two sources for the same state, or a USDA national window with a state calendar that sits entirely inside it. A single source is not enough on this site; where we only found one, we say so instead of publishing a number.

Nobody at USDA, a state agriculture department or a university has a hand in building, reviewing or backing this site — it's independent, with no ad slots, no accounts to create and no photo galleries.
