Regional Seasonal Eating Guide Calendar 2023 | Recycled Paper, Planner, Calendar, Wall Reference

A hand-illustrated seasonal eating guide for the Temperate region of Australia. The seasonal eating guide came about from the planting guide. Designed to be a guide for seasonal produce for the temperate region in an easy-to-understand & clear format. Temperate Regions: Tasmania Melbourne Canberra Dubbo Adelaide Port Lincoln Esperance Albany Sydney & surrounding areas My goal was to start focusing more on eating seasonally, only fruit & vegetables that are grown locally & in season. I thought it would also be beneficial to turn my research into something other people could use & benefit from.

Eating seasonally has a lot of benefits, it means you’re getting local, fresh & delicious fruit & vegetables. It reduces the distance your food has to travel. Reducing the distance your food travels to your plate increases its sustainability. When purchasing fruit & vegetables, a lot of the time we don’t consider just how far they have travelled, & the wastage associated with that; fuel, storage costs & packaging. Buying seasonal produce from local suppliers means more often than not you can purchase organic & chemical-free produce, as it does not need to be stored for a long period of time or travel a long way. This reduces the number of pesticides & chemicals that you’re ingesting into your body. Another way to reduce waste is to go to farmers markets, shop at local grocers & choose only fruit & vegetables that are loose & not packed in packaging. Knowing what is in season & when is a challenge. Australia has a diverse & varied climate, this means that depending on where you live it can dictate what to eat. We’re also experiencing changes in climate, a lot of fruit & vegetables that could once not be grown in temperate regions are now thriving. Commercially certain fruit & vegetables might not be grown in the temperate region but can thrive in gardens or small orchards. I hope that this calendar provides a clear & helpful guide for monthly seasonal eating. It is designed to be a reference point for the sustainability-focused, as well as a beautiful addition to your home, office or any space.
