With Thanksgiving just three weeks away, fall produce is reason enough to head downtown to the Red Stick Farmers Market this month, 225 Dine reports.
“Butternut, acorn and spaghetti squash are finally in season. Serve them with sides of in-season lettuce or green beans,” reads a feature from the latest e-newsletter. “The time is also right for root vegetables like sweet potatoes, radish, turnips and beets. Leafy greens are still at the market, too. Think kale, spinach, Swiss chard and mustard greens.”
November also means citrus season is officially here, which means local lemons, satsumas, orange and grapefruit should all be available.
And it’s not too soon to preorder a pasture-raised Thanksgiving turkey from Iverstine Family Farm, which sets up shop at the market every weekend. You also can preorder pies and cakes from the market’s bakers.
