Crop Calendar
We live in a region where a huge variety of food can be grown. Along with a great crop selection, our mild climate also provides a long growing season. This coupled with the hotter, drier growing area just over the Cascade Mountains makes Washington one of the best, longest and most diverse growing regions in the country.
See the table below to get a general idea of what is available when. Not all crops are shown. Harvest periods are shown generally and, as we learned in last year's record-cool summer, can be off by up to a month from what is shown on the calendar.
