Multicolored Cauliflower! Pumpkins! Grapes! Quinces! ORDER YOUR THANKSGIVING TURKEY FROM QUATTRO'S, VIOLET HILL, OR OTHER FARMSTANDS.

We're definitely rolling into winter vegetable time, with squashes, broccoli, peppers, winter greens like kale, root vegetables including all kinds of turnips, brussels sprouts, and onion family selections like leeks and shallots. S&SO and Stokes still have a great variety of cut herbs and Binder and Oak Grove are here with potted herbs. Remember, however, that some of these folks disappear after Thanksgiving, so get some herbs to keep on your windowsill or dry the essential ones (like thyme, rosemary, sage) for your Christmas birds.

Norwich, Stokes, Paffenroth, S&SO, Cherry Lane, Hodgeson, Sycamore,Northshire, and Cherry Lane are still here with all sorts of vegetables, and Gorzynsky and others are bringing in organic produce as well. The choices are getting limited and heirloom tomatoes are definitely on their way out, especially after this weekend's chill, but you should be able to find what you want today.
