It's apple season in Vermont! We've got heirloom varieties from The Scott Farm in Dummerston; Honeycrisps, Zestars, and Ginger Golds from Champlain Orchards in Shoreham; and Paula Reds, Pippins, and apple cider from Moore's Orchard in North Pomfret.

It really doesn't get any better than this — crisp, sunny days and cool nights. Perfect weather for doing just about anything outdoors. Here at the Market, it's Farmers' Harvest season. We've got loads of fall produce coming in the door and autumn-inspired treats in the bakery case. Stop by for your fall flavor fix!

What's Cookin'
Fall Quiche With Roasted Butternut Squash

Pierson Farm just delivered our first big shipment of local butternut squash — quite possibly fall's most versatile vegetable. Use it in soups, salads, desserts, and even on pizza.

Here's a recipe starring this sweet, nutritious seasonal delicacy.
Staff Pick of the Week
We opened a box of these delicious dried fruit snacks in the office the other day, and they were gone in about 10 minutes. What do we love about Nature's Bandits ? They're soft, chewy, and not too sweet (because they're made with organic fruit and that's it … i.e., no added sugar ). Plus, each box contains a collectible Nature's Bandits playing card featuring one of 12 adorable animals. You can find them on our back-to-school shelf, near the dairy case.
