What's In Season for Autumn/Winter?

Shopping at your local farmers market is an awesome way to support local and reduce your food miles. At traditional supermarkets, it feels like every type of food is at our fingertips all year round - but the reality is that these veggies often come from all over the world in order to stock shelves year round. On the other hand, shopping for your veggies at farmers markets is a fun way to engage with the seasons and get more in touch with the food you’re eating throughout the year. What’s growing right now is what you get! As an added bonus, buying direct from the producers ensures you’re getting the freshest, most nutritionally dense ingredients available. What’s not to love?
