June in the Netherlands means green asparagus, radishes, lettuce, spring onions, garden peas, mangetout & sugar snaps, broad beans and cucumbers. Garden peas, mangetout & sugar snaps, broad beans, courgettes and fennel come in this month. White asparagus, green asparagus, grass cheese, spring honey and elderflower end with June, so this is the month to buy them.
Roe deer, red and fallow deer and wild boar have too few natural predators here, so each province sets how many are culled every year. We only include game from these management culls, never from hunting for sport: eating it means the animal is used as food rather than wasted.
Producers in The Field Guide who sell this month's foods, each checked against our criteria. The number is how many we have listed so far; coverage grows ring by ring.
