Fresh harvests, rather than shop availability

A crop appears when growers in Canada normally harvest it during that month. The calendar excludes imports and produce available only from long-term storage, heated greenhouses, or other protected methods.

Locally grown produce sold outside these harvest months may have been stored after harvest. A blank fruit or vegetable month does not mean shops have no locally grown produce.

This is a selected catalogue of common fruit and vegetables, not a complete list of every crop in Canada. Herbs, mushrooms, nuts and rhubarb are outside its scope. Tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers are grouped with vegetables.

Seasons vary across Canada

This is an approximate national guide, not a local crop forecast. Weather, latitude, altitude, cultivar, and farming method can shift harvest dates by several weeks. Harvests may begin earlier in warmer areas and later in cooler areas.

The catalogue uses the overlap between Ontario and British Columbia fresh-harvest periods when their calendars differ. It excludes storage and greenhouse periods identified by the sources. These two provinces do not describe every Canadian climate or growing region.

Use the calendar to plan seasonal meals, then check what's being harvested by growers near you. The month ranges describe typical seasons rather than a prediction for this year's weather.

Canada calendar sources

The catalogue draws on Foodland Ontario's availability guide and Buy BC's seasonal chart, keeping their overlapping fresh-harvest periods. Read the source guide and methodology for how evidence is selected.
