Seasonality is a core tenet of Yaya’s cooking. We work with nature’s rhythms, sourcing what’s harvested as soon as it’s ripe and ready to start a conversation. Buying produce in season is easier on the wallet, amenable to the body’s changing needs throughout the year, and the first step toward a more sustainable food system for everyone.

Of course, we’re not all trained chefs or farm-workers, and too few of us have access to year-round farmer’s markets. For anyone who wants to eat and live with the seasons, Yaya has created the Seasons Map.

Seasons Map is a functional piece of wall art that shows you what’s in season throughout the calendar year. The map is broken into four seasons or quadrants, depicting what should make your shopping list before visiting your local market. The map reads clockwise, guiding you to produce at its inception. Items falling at the end of a quadrant often extend into the next season. Some larger families, like Berries or Brassica, have one image to represent them. The center of the map shows fruits & veggies available year-round.

Available in 16x16 print, the gentle, earth-tone piece will make a great visual addition to your kitchen or home while orienting you to our planet’s rotating cast of earthly delights the moment they’re most tempting. Shipping & handling Included!

How to read this chart:

As much as we cherish boundaries, seasonality doesn’t work so neatly. Tomatoes don’t ripen the first day of summer any more than gourds hit peak plumpness the last day of fall. It’s more helpful to think of seasons as bleeding into one another, with some produce straddling two “different” seasons—like the chilies you see dancing out of late summer and into early fall.

Seasons Map will help orient you to our planet’s rotating cast of earthly delights the moment they’re most tempting. This map is a general outline of the most common items grown and in America, per season. The illustrations are by Rachel Kahn.
