Why a calendar offers guidance, while checking the particular farm still matters.
Kalle has spotted a pumpkin on the calendar and wants to set off straight away. Lotti asks one little question first: does it show the typical harvest season or today’s range at a particular farm? The two can match, but they are not the same thing.
Seasonal calendars show when fruit and vegetables are typically harvested or widely available. Weather, region and growing methods can shift these periods. Storage, protected cultivation and imports can extend availability in shops.
When shopping, ask: Where was this product grown? Is it from a current harvest or from storage? Which products does the farm produce itself? These answers turn a colourful monthly chart into a practical shopping guide.
Our calendar values offer approximate guidance for Germany. They do not show stock levels or promise availability at a particular farm. Plan your shopping flexibly and check before travelling if you have specific requirements.
