What’s Coming Up In The Garden

October is such a scary month in produce. The ghosts of summer linger as fall begins to creep in. Summer is not quite dead yet, but we can see its funeral in the distance as the nights get shorter and colder and Halloween approaches. Produce is between two worlds in October. The summer produce will disappear somewhere about mid-October, but the Harvest is coming in. We are beginning to have the makings of a fall feast!

Take advantage of the last of summer. Enjoy Grapes from Mann Orchards, Melons from from Snake River and Rice Family Farms, too! Peaches, plums, nectarines— for just a little while longer. Our two local organic producers, Rice Family Farms and Peaceful Belly, are beginning to bring in the harvest. Look for their local succulent and sturdy greens, green beans, roots, and squash.

Roots and Squash. This is what you can expect. Lots of great organic potatoes are arriving from M&M Heath Farms, and lots of great organic squash from King’s Crown Organics. As the month wears on, you can expect organic northwest apples— just in time for your Halloween party! Enjoy this scary season and be sure to stop by produce for your tricks and treats! (Also, be sure to stop by Website frequently. We update almost weekly with the latest and freshest local produce news!)

Have a great Fall!
