Texas has a vast agricultural landscape, bringing a variety of fruits and vegetables to harvest throughout the year. When you eat Texas seasonal produce, you get fresher, tastier food packed with essential nutrients. You also support your local farmers, community, and the environment. Here’s what’s in season in Texas and a few tips for creating tasty, nutritious meals throughout the year.
Seasonal eating in Texas lets you enjoy more flavorful fruits and veggies. You also get more nutrition and can support your local economy and the environment. Some reasons to choose seasonal produce include:
From sweet, juicy summer peaches to hearty fall turnips and squash, here are Texas fruits and vegetables in season, from month to month:
Spring in Texas means delicious local produce. Here are some of the fruits and vegetables in season in the Lone Star State from March to May:
You can make so many delicious meals with spring produce — toss a strawberry-spinach salad with toasted nuts and a light balsamic vinaigrette, roast asparagus and carrots with lemon and olive oil, or make a quick snap pea and onion sauté with garlic. You could also grill peach halves and serve them over plain yogurt with a drizzle of honey.
Summer brings plenty of juicy fruits and delicious vegetables, from cantaloupe and plums to tomatoes, peppers, and squash. Also, watermelons are in season in Texas during the summer. Residents can look forward to attending festivals and events catered to the fruit, as Texas is one of the top watermelon-producing states in the U.S.
Enjoy the following fruits and veggies from June to August:
In the summer, use Texas local produce for tomato, cucumber, and sweet corn salads with lime and herbs, or grill your squash, eggplant, peppers, and onions for veggie skewers. You could also blend a refreshing watermelon-mint agua fresca or sear peaches and plums with cottage cheese on the side.
Fall brings cooler temperatures and a bountiful harvest, including:
With your fall produce, make a chopped kale salad with your fresh apples and pears, drizzling it with a lemon-tahini dressing. You could also roast Brussels sprouts, grapes, and red onion with a splash of balsamic or stuff roasted pumpkin with black beans, salsa, and avocado.
Texas still shines in winter with hardy greens, cool-season veggies, and bright citrus. In addition to stored crops, many items are harvested fresh during these months:
Brighten the season with a citrus and fennel salad or simmer a hearty cabbage with carrots and turnips.
To fully enjoy your fresh and nutritious seasonal produce, here are some tips for shopping, cooking, and preserving your Texas fruits and veggies:
You can find a farmers market near you by checking the Texas Department of Agriculture or LocalHarvest websites to find markets by location and date.
To get the best selection, arrive at your local farmers market early. Bring cash and a cooler to keep your produce insulated and fresh as you browse stalls. This is also a great opportunity to ask growers how they harvest and store their produce, so you can keep your fruits and veggies as fresh as possible.
When you subscribe to a CSA, you can pick up or get fresh seasonal produce delivered straight to your door throughout the year. All you have to do is pay in advance, providing the farmer with capital for the season, so you get regular produce and other farm products. This makes meal planning and creating balanced meals that much easier. Search LocalHarvest or the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) food directory to find CSA farms near you.
Proper storage and preservation will keep your produce fresher longer and help it retain its nutritional value. Here are some tips:
Here are a few ways you can cook up and fully enjoy your Texas seasonal produce:
For extra help, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist can also tailor a seasonal meal prep guide that fits your goals and budget, making the process simpler and quicker than ever.
Seasonal eating in Texas means fresher flavor, more nutrients, fewer food miles, and stronger local farms — all wins for you, your wallet, and community.
Ready to put this guide into action? Start by trying one new fruit or vegetable each week, visiting a nearby farmers market, or subscribing to a CSA. Doherty Nutrition can help you plan effortless, budget‑friendly meals around what’s in season, optimize storage to reduce waste, and build shopping lists that fit your goals.
