Fall brings more than just apple pie and pumpkin spice to our tables. It's the season we can enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables like cranberries, winter squash, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, kale, cabbage, pomegranate, radish, turnips, parsnips and of course, apples and pumpkins! Buying produce when it's in season typically results in better flavor and is easier on your wallet.
