Common questions
- What fruits and vegetables are in season in fall?
- The USDA lists 40 in season during fall. 21 of them are at their best in fall specifically rather than being available most of the year: bell peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cranberries, ginger, green beans, lettuce, mangos, mushrooms.
- Where do I buy fall produce?
- A farmers market, a farm stand, or a CSA share. We list 7,294 markets nationally, and our season pages show which are open in fall in your state.
- Does this vary by state?
- Considerably. These are national windows from the USDA, and a Georgia harvest can run weeks ahead of a Vermont one. Treat it as the shape of the year rather than a local calendar.
