There’s nothing better than the fall harvest in Berks County. And now is the last chance to get your sweet corn for the season!
Red, yellow, and green. No, we’re not talking about a stoplight, we’re talking about apples! While you have seen these colors of apples, maybe you don’t know the difference between them. Green apples, like Granny Smith, tend to be very tart and crisp, while redder apples, like Red Delicious or Honeycrisp, are sweeter and juicier. Yellow apples like Golden Delicious sit perfectly between the two, offering a mellow sweetness. Whether you’re eating one or baking with apples, there are dozens of varieties grown in Berks County waiting for you to try! Make sure you pick up your favorite apple varieties today! Search "apples" on the Local Food Map (link in bio!) to find local producers near you.
🎃🍐October is here! As the days get a bit shorter, the amount of crops in season also goes down. But don’t worry, there’s still plenty to enjoy this month! Fall favorite produce like pumpkins, apples, pears, and squash takes center stage in October, while the remnants of summer items like watermelon, sweet corn, and tomatoes get one more month before their season ends. 🪻For flowers, mum varieties reign supreme, with other plants like sedum, goldenrods, and asters perfect for any planter or garden. Which local favorites are you picking up this October? Let us know! Visit the Local Food Map at the link in our bio to find fall produce near you.
Nothing beats fresh, locally produced cheese and other dairy products. 🧀 Did you know that Berks County alone produces 520 million pounds of milk annually? That is roughly 60 million gallons! No matter what dairy product you like, Berks dairy producers have you covered. 🐄
Have you ever stopped by one of the great farmers’ markets in our area? These markets don’t just hold local produce and meat. They’ve got several great vendors providing food, wine, and other great treats. Not only is shopping at these local markets better for the economy, but it is better for you! So don’t wait! Swing by one of Berks County’s farmers markets and see how great they are for yourself!
