Fall Vegetables
As summer ends, bring on all those beautiful, comforting fall vegetables. From September through November, the fall season brings many delicious fruits and vegetables that pack a ton of health benefits and warm the soul. This season offers a variety of produce from squash, sweet potatoes, apples, pumpkins, and more. Many of the vegetables harvested at this time are hearty root vegetables, meant to help tide us over until the spring harvest.
To keep up with the increase in demand, most grocery stores must often resort to trucking produce from different parts of the world. If, however, you make the choice to focus on consuming local fruits and vegetables instead of produce with a long transport time, you help to both reduce your carbon footprint and support your local community.
Wheatsville looks to not only bring in as many organic produce items as possible, but also tries to focus on supporting local farmers, as well. This year, we are particularly excited about partnering with Pecos Farms a well-known Texas Farm to bring in pumpkins.
We always are grateful to the community and Wheatsville Owners for their support.
