March is all about St. Patrick’s Day and National Nutrition Month in the food content creation world. Work ahead with these March email newsletter ideas for food bloggers and food content creators.

March can be a challenging month for food content. It’s still winter but people are growing tired of root vegetables and they’re looking for lighter, brighter flavors after months of comfort food.

Spring Produce Is Coming!

Early, locally grown spring produce starts to appear towards the end of the month and is very location dependent but, most North Americans will start to see:

  • asparagus
  • California strawberries
  • locally grown tomatoes (where greenhouse agriculture is prominent)
  • locally grown cucumbers (where greenhouse agriculture is prominent)
  • locally grown peppers (where greenhouse agriculture is prominent)
  • root veggies, hardy greens (cabbage, kale), leeks, squash, potatoes, and citrus fruit are all still in season

St. Patrick’s Day

Obviously, the big food centred holiday in March is St. Patrick’s day. Not everyone will want to create content around it but if you do, here are some areas to focus on:

  • anything green!
  • incorporating Guinness into recipes
  • traditional Irish foods like soda bread, corned beef and cabbage, beef stew, Shepherds Pie, etc
  • creative novelty treats celebrating the day for kids
