The brisk chill in the air is a welcome to Fall, which starts this Friday, September 23. Chef Sarah says to look for pumpkins! There are plenty to be found at our local markets, but for a fun day trip with the kids, Wegmeyer Farms' Pumpkin Season opens this Saturday, September 24. They have over 30 varieties of pumpkins, and an educational hayride. Check out the location and details here.

Apples and pears are here as well.... Also, squash of all kinds - butternut, acorn, spaghetti and more! Try Chef Ris's Brown Sugar Squash Pie, as was featured in Fine Cooking. Happy Fall!
