What is counter-seasonal? What Chilean products are available counter-seasonally?
Counter seasonal refers to the opposite growing seasons between the Northern and Southern hemisphere. Our Southern hemisphere growing conditions mean that most of the products harvested in the Northern hemisphere spring-summer time (April through July) are harvested between August and March in Chile. This gives us the ability to produce products for our customers in the Northern hemisphere when other producers are out of stock
