June Seasonal Produce and Sales

In season produce include:

Corn, beets, lettuce, carrots, eggplant, cucumber, greens, summer squash, potatoes and tomatoes.

Berries-blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc., apricot, cherries, nectarines, cantaloupe, and watermelon.

Produce will be at the lowest prices while in season.

The big food sale of the month is dairy for National Dairy Month. You will find sales on most things in the diary department- ice cream, cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, butter, yogurt, whipped toppings, etc. Did you know you can freeze many of the products? Most will have to be used within one or two months and it will change the smoothness of some of the products such as yogurt and sour cream will separate and get grainy. Butter will last up to six months. For instructions and storage times see How to Freeze Dairy Products..


The other big food sale occurs before the Fourth of July. You will find a variety of picnic related foods on sale-hot dogs, hamburger, salad dressing, condiments, ketchup, chips and dips. You can freeze hot dogs for a month or two. You can freeze hamburger meat for 3 to 4 months. Most condiments will last for one year unopened.
