Autumn Produce Guide
With autumn's crisper mornings and cooler evenings sweeping in, it’s time to embrace the harvest of the season. Picture rich hues of red, orange, and gold, along with comforting flavours and warming, hearty dishes.
Eating locally-sourced, seasonal produce is better for the environment and our back pockets. Not only does our produce not have to travel hundreds of kilometres to get to us, but seasonal produce is usually cheaper too.
Seasonal produce is also fresher and tastier - there’s nothing better than enjoying a delicious crumble made with crunchy Granny Smith apples and tart rhubarb on a chilly autumn evening.
Below we have compiled a handy list of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Print it out or screenshot it to keep with you next time you're doing your grocery shopping.
