November is all about giving thanks for all the blessings in our lives and showing gratitude for our friends and family. Here at the Arizona Farm Bureau, we think this gives everyone a great opportunity to be thankful for the Arizona farmers and ranchers that provide such an abundance of fresh in-season produce, meat, and dairy products. You can make Thanksgiving extra special this year for your family and the local farms and ranches that contribute to the food supply by focusing on dishes that use locally grown, in season items. Here are some great ways to fill your menu, including the one for Thanksgiving Day, and your plate with what’s in season this month.
