Markets :: Fall Harvest at Union Square Greenmarket

It's Fall Harvest time in New York. The vegetables of summer are starting to fade out and the root vegetables, assorted squashes and pumpkins are showing their faces. This is a beautiful time of year in East Coast when the leaves start to display a wide range of colors from yellow to red. Apple season is full swing, offering a wide variety of colors and tastes. Apple cider available by the gallons and served hot. The smell of rich spices fills the air. Different sorts of hearty greens; kales, mustard greens, bok choy, swiss chard, mizuna, arugula, watercress, spinach and delicate baby greens at 6 dollars a quarter pound. Root vegetables; carrots, turnips, parsnips, and celery root. I love this time of year until all the leaves fall off. I call it dead season, which it is. My boyfriend reminds me that the trees "are just having a sleep". :)
