Harvest Of The Month
Island Grown Harvest of the Month is a program that highlights a locally available crop each month of the year in schools, libraries and the broader community. The goal is to help children, their caregivers and the community experience healthy, seasonal whole-foods based meals while supporting local and regional farmers. Each of our recipes have been created by local chefs and have been thoroughly enjoyed by Islanders.
Our 2023 crop list:

January: Potatoes

February: Cabbage

March: Eggs

April: Seafood

May: Herbs

June: Salad greens

July: Summer squash

August: Jilo

September: Tomatoes

October: Cranberries

November: Root vegetables

December: Winter squash
