I only buy seasonal.

It makes the wait for strawberries etc worth while, It is frightening to think of the waste of resource and ackaging to fly fruit and veg around the world.

I use our local farm shop and a local butcher, when its in season, i buy it, when it isn't, well tough

Ditto Paganwolf. As a society we rely too much on food which isn't from our region, on non-seasonal food (often I don't think people realise just how far there food has travelled) - society continues to want everything NOW (and exactly how/when/where they want it).

Sadly this town is seriously lacking a decent fruit and veg shop - it's crazy, but it was easier to buy locally produced (and tasty) foods when we lived in Cardiff than it is here! It does at least have a local butcher shop but it looks like that will be closing soon.

I agree that the seasons aren't as we 'expect' them to be... (we've got some snowdrops on there way up for a second time this year!!) but then, Nature moves on and we're still trying to get her to follow our timetable.
