Seasonal data is generalized to midwest & northeast. Local microclimates, hoop houses, and specific orchard varieties can shift these by 2-4 weeks. Always confirm with the specific market or vendor — and ask the farmer what just came in. Source: USDA cooperative extension calendars synthesized into 6 US climate zones.
