Each season is special for different reasons but out of them all, fall certainly has our hearts. During the fall, we crack open our windows and enjoy the breeze, check scores from our favorite sports team (while going back for seconds on the cheese dip), and enjoy wearing the comfiest of sweaters. And there are many reasons that support why fall is the best season, including the availability of fresh, seasonal produce.
If you’re looking for a fashionable holiday gift for any man in your life, you cannot go wrong with anything from Sézane’s men’s collection, Octobre Éditions.
Depending on where you live, the opportunities to buy fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables are endless. Seasonal produce is always available at large regional stores, however, don’t forget to check local specialty food stores or farmer’s market. Local markets are a great way to support small businesses and to meet the farmers responsible for your produce haul.
So, I’ve gathered a list of fruits and vegetables you can find this season, along with a few recipes are worth trying!
