Fall Produce Guide: What’s in Season, Nutritional Info and Diabetic Recipes to Try.

It may be downright cold where you live, but there is still plenty of fresh produce to be found through November and into December.

Many farmers markets have enclosed areas that make it easy to get fresh, local produce when the weather isn't so nice (visit Local Harvest and enter your zip code to find a local market). There are lots of great reasons to support local farming. Local food tastes better and is more nutritious, and buying locally helps conserve energy, supports local businesses, and requires less packaging.
