Hey friends,
How’s everyone’s week starting off? I’m currently playing with a new recipe for you all — really excited to eat this one! While that’s cooking, I wanted to hop on here for a quick sec to send you all — even my free-subscribing friends — a little gift.
This is a heartfelt thank you from me to you for your support along the way. If you’re one of my upgraded subscribers (thank you for that small monthly contribution), I want to acknowledge how much it means to me. That support gives me the ability to do what I love and continue sharing these seasonal offerings with you.
The Spring Seasonal Guide I’m gifting you is user-friendly and family-friendly. It includes what’s in season right now — fruits, vegetables, and herbs — along with some simple meal inspiration to help you get creative in the kitchen. Recipes are not included in this guide, but I’ll begin posting them here slowly. Paid subscribers will have full access, so if you find yourself wanting more, it’s never too late to hop on that train.
The guide is a high-resolution PDF, designed for printing — perfect for your fridge! I wanted it to feel simple, cute, and inspiring. Not all of us have access to farmer’s markets all the time, and shopping at grocery stores can make it hard to tell what’s actually in season. That’s where this guide comes in.
Why Eat Seasonally?
To eat seasonally is to live in rhythm with the earth’s cycles, to respond to what nature is giving in this moment. It’s a practice rooted in reciprocity, ecology, and embodied wisdom. Here’s a few small reasons as to why it matters:
Richer in Vital Energy & Nutrients
Food harvested at its peak — grown under the sun and in sync with the seasons — carries more life force. It hasn’t been forced to grow or shipped across time zones. It’s fresh, whole, and alive with the intelligence of the land.Supports Local Farmers & the Local Economy
Seasonal eating often means supporting local farms and food systems, keeping money circulating in your community and nurturing relationships of care and trust.Environmentally Friendly
It reduces the need for resource-intensive methods (like heated greenhouses or long-distance shipping) and cuts back on fossil fuel use.In Harmony with the Body
Our bodies shift with the seasons. Spring greens detox, summer fruits hydrate and cool, autumn roots ground and nourish, and winter broths warm and restore. This is food as nature intended — intuitive and medicinal.Culinary Joy & Integrity
Seasonal cooking is creative and deeply satisfying. It’s not about trend-following but honoring the old ways — cooking with what’s abundant, and letting the seasons guide the table.
Eating in this way is deeply nourishing — for your body, your community, and the land. And while habit change isn’t always easy, the right support makes it feel doable, even joyful. This guide is one small way to bring more ease and inspiration to your seasonal kitchen. I hope it serves you well and remember, I love connecting! So please reach out if you want to discuss things, need more ideas, or anything else for that matter.
With love and good food,
Chelsea
