Sure, summer’s known for its bounty of sweet berries and juicy watermelon, but fall’s no slouch either when it comes to produce.
From the moment those first leaves change color to their inevitable plunge from the trees, your local farmer’s market teems with good-for-you and delicious fruits and veggies like squash, sweet potatoes, apples, and pears.
