As we say goodbye to summer’s bounty of fruits and vegetables, we gladly welcome fall’s harvest. Not sure what’s in season? The Indiana Department of Agriculture has a great online harvest calendar that will tell you what’s in season this fall.
So, what’s looking good this October?
- Apples
- Beets
- Broccoli
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Pumpkins
- Winter Squash
And that’s just to name a few!
While many local farmer’s markets might be drawing to a close for the season, there are still a variety of opportunities to get your hands on local produce. Did you know there are a handful of farms and orchards just a short drive from Indianapolis? I mean, really, what’s more fun than an apple orchard, pumpkin patch, or corn maze on a beautiful fall day?!
