Seasonal Produce

Enjoy eating fresh produce during harvest season! Not only does it taste better but it is more fresh and a delicious way to add color to your plate. Living in an agricultural area has many benefits for us including a bounty of fresh produce nearly year round. Many people do not realize which fruits and vegetables are in season when we have access to everything at the grocery store. While a higher price tag is usually a clue that that particular produce choice is not in season, here is a list of produce in season during November.

*Apples

*Cranberries

*Kiwifruit

*Kumquats

*Oranges

*Pears

*Persimmons

*Pomegranates

*Quinces

*Artichoke

*Beets

*Bok Choy

*Brussels Sprouts

*Chard

*Daikon

*Fennel

*Rutabaga

*Winter Squash (acorn, pumpkin, butternut, spaghetti, etc)

*Sunchokes

*Turnips
