Fall harvest fruits and vegetables
Food is a big part of fall, and farms play a significant role in seasonal celebrations. Each fall, families plan apple picking ex- cursions with their eyes on bak- ing homemade apple pies. And while Halloween is made even more fun when carving jack-o’- lanterns, savvy celebrants know that carving sessions are not complete without some roasted pumpkin seeds.
The fall harvest is a great time to indulge in some freshly picked healthy foods. While the picking season may vary depending on where you live, and specifically the climate in your region, the following are some fruits and veg- etables that might be ripe for the picking this fall.
• Apples: Apple-picking sea- son typically begins in late sum- mer and extends into fall. Many farms offer a variety of apples, which may be harvested at dif- ferent times. For example, in the northeastern United States, Gala apples tend to be harvested in late summer, while Granny Smith apples may be best picked
in early October.
• Beets: The Spruce: Eats
notes that beets may be in season in temperate climates from fall through spring.
• Broccoli: Fresh broccoli makes a healthy addition to any dinner table, and Pickyourown. org notes that broccoli can have a lengthy harvesting season. Early harvesting may begin in May in some regions, though it’s still possible to pick fresh broccoli in late October. If you want to pick fresh broccoli, The Old Farmer’s Almanac recommends doing so in the morning when the buds of the head are firm and tight.
• Cabbage: If you’re looking to do some late fall picking, cabbage might be for you. The online re- source Harvest to Table notes that cabbage can survive under snow without being harmed, making it an ideal late fall veg- etable. Spoiled outer leaves can be pulled away after harvesting without affecting the quality of the remaining cabbage.
• Peaches: People who can’t wait to whip up a peach cobbler
may need to do so before fall even begins. According to Pickyou- rown.org, peaches can be ready for picking as early as July in the northeastern United States, and the picking season generally ends around mid-September. The sea- son is even earlier in places like Georgia, a state known for its peaches where the picking sea- son can begin in mid-May and extend through early August de- pending on the variety.
• Pumpkins: Thanks in part to Halloween decor and the popularity of pumpkin pie as a Thanksgiving dessert, pump- kins are synonymous with the fall harvest. And pumpkin pick- ing season aligns perfectly with each of these holidays, typically beginning in early or mid-Sep- tember and extending deep into October.
Fall is a great time of year to pick fresh fruits and vegetables at a local farm.cally the climate in your region, the following are some fruits and vegetables that might be ripe for the picking this fall.
