What’s in Season? October Fruits and Veggies

The fall season is in full effect now that we’ve entered into the month of October. It’s my favorite time of the year. The weather is cooling off, the leaves are changing, and pumpkin flavored everything is on all the shelves. There’s nothing better than the changing of the seasons to fall and most North Carolinians love all the food at harvest time.

All produce is different, depending on where it’s grown, so they’ll hit their peaks at different times. Here’s what you’ll typically find at local grocery stores and farmer’s markets.
