March Seasonal Produce + Recipe Roundup

In Michigan, seasonal produce is pretty limited to crops that are grown in extended seasons- meaning they are usually grown with techniques that allow plants to grow when they normally would not grow outdoors due to the cold weather. This could be with hoophouses or high tunnels, where sunlight and protective materials provide a warm and protected environment. However, March is mushroom season in Michigan! Click here for a guide on Michigan seasonal produce. I like to eat seasonally as inspiration for trying new produce and new recipes. You can click through the links or the pictures.
