Why Do Local Harvests End in November?<\/h5>

With the first frosts of November, open-field crops in Quebec reach their natural end. It\u2019s a time for the land to rest, while flavors continue to thrive thanks to storage vegetables. Certain hardy vegetables are harvested just before the deep cold and carefully stored to maintain their freshness and nutritional value. At Purd\u00e9lys<\/strong>, this process is a cherished tradition \u2014 ensuring that each stored vegetable remains as delicious as the day it was harvested, keeping local food on your table even in the heart of winter.<\/p>

Even as the fields sleep, certain vegetables continue to bring color and flavor to your table, all the way through spring!

Onions lend warmth and depth to winter soups and stews, while beets, full of antioxidants, brighten dishes with their beautiful color and essential nutrients.
