Seasonal calendar for fruit and vegetables: what local produce will I get in April?

Particularly fresh and environmentally friendly - that's what characterizes regional products. We also support local farmers. But when do we get local strawberries freshly picked from the field?

In our seasonal fruit and vegetable calendar, we tell you which ingredients you can buy when from your trusted local farmer. What's available in April?
