The fruits of fall

It is mid October, and fall is in full force. What a lovely time of year! With the change of the seasons also comes  a change in fresh produce. Just because it isn't summer anymore doesn't mean you can't enjoy delicious and affordable fresh fruit...you just have to know what to look for!

During the autumn months, the following fruits are most likely to be on sale at your grocery store:
-apples
-grapes
-pears
-cranberries (and they freeze beautifully!)
-figs
-pomegranate

If you are lucky enough to have an apple orchard near by, take advantage of it. Your kids will learn a lot about nutrition simply by seeing where good food comes from, and so many orchards have fun activities for families to enjoy. Plus, you'll get the freshest produce around!
