Hello, October!

Feast on fall’s flavors sustainably!

Enjoy fall’s bounty by shopping at local farmers’ markets for organic and seasonal produce. Choosing local reduces the carbon emissions associated with transporting food over long distances. Try preserving the harvest by canning or freezing fall fruits and vegetables, or support local farms by joining a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program.
