Stone fruits & figs still kicking for just a little longer
Squash is kicking into full gear with personal favorites Delicata and Red Kuri at the top of our list along with butternut, acorn and sugar pumpkins rounding out the offerings
Chestnuts are ready for your holiday menus as are local Brussel sprouts, pomegranates, and Fuyu persimmons
We are also seeing great options like local heirloom apples, pears and quince for all your baking needs
Local citrus is around the corner with the kumquats staring in first
Artichokes both small loose and larger grilling size have started and are wonderful with a friendly price attached.
