In order to counteract the impact of global food trade, some people try to buy as much as possible “regional products”, that means products which grow in their area. 

Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is becoming more and more popular: the farmers receive a fixed amount of money* every month from the members of the group and they share with them their harvest. This allows the farmer to share the risk of the harvest, while the people in the city get tasty regional food and also the possibility to be a farmer for a day, going to help out in the countryside.

Imagine now that you are a member of a CSA: what products would you get at this time of the year? 

Try to guess and then verify, asking people who might know or have a seasonal calendar specific for your area!
