Vegetables and Fruit to Eat During the Fall Season

If you aren’t quite sure what vegetables and fruits to start adding to your fall diet, we rounded up five of our favorite, fall fruits and vegetables that Happy Dirt farmers are currently harvesting.

FRESH| We have @heronfarms sea beans! Are you scratching your head, wondering what a sea bean is? It's a nutrient dense, crisp succulent that has a salty flavor! ⁠
⁠
How are they grown?⁠
⁠
@heronfarms is made up of a team of talented plant scientists and grow their sea beans using Controlled Environment Agriculture and saltwater hydroponics! For each pound of sea beans they sell, they plant one square foot of salt marsh. ⁠
⁠
How to enjoy sea beans?⁠
⁠
Use sea beans as garnishes for drinks or seafood, or enjoy them as the as the main ingredient of your dish! #HappyDirtAlert⁠

COMMUNITY| Back in December, we shared the story of New Communities, Inc., their pecans, and their mission! In 1969, Shirley Sherrod, her husband Charles Sherrod, and 8 others founded New Communities, Inc. to empower the African American community in Southwest Georgia through agribusiness and economic development. If you missed the story, head to the link in our bio to read more about this incredible organization. And by the way, we currently have their Satsumas on hand!⁠⠀

FRESH| Black oyster mushrooms are in! We love these beauties. Black oyster mushrooms are a hybrid of the European oyster mushroom and the Japanese oyster mushroom. The flavor is sweet and delicate with a peppery aftertaste! Both the stem and the cap of the black oyster mushroom are edible and have a crispy texture. ⁠
⁠
Why eat black oyster mushrooms this season (and mushrooms in general)? ⁠
⁠
Black oyster mushrooms are packed with vitamins and minerals that are helpful in boosting our immune systems. And during this time, a strong immune system is crucial. With black oyster mushrooms, you will get a healthy dose of vitamins B, C, and D. They are also a great source of calcium, iron, and potassium! #HappyDirtAlert

FRESH| We have eyes for Meyer lemons this season! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What's the difference between a Meyer lemon and a conventional lemon?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As a matter of fact, Meyer lemons are quite special! Native to China, the Meyer lemon is a cross between a lemon and a mandarine orange. Before making its way to the hearts of chefs, it was a decorative house plant! Compared to the conventional lemon, the Meyer is less tart and slightly sweet. They are smaller, more round, and more golden in color. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Toss Meyer lemons in salads and salsa, or add it to a dessert! The rind is thin enough for you to eat as well! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The window for Meyer lemons is small, so don't miss your chance to add these to your grocery basket! #HappyDirtAlert
