Sauce Tomatoes! Hot peppers! Celeriac!

Stokes, Berried Treasures, Bodhitree, Cherry Lane, Mountain Sweet Berry, and Sycamore all have delicious looking tomatoes for sauce. The heirlooms still look good, but if you're freezing heirloom tomatoes for the winter, this is the week to do it. Chill is in the air and supplies are definitely starting to shrink. Bodhitree and Berried Treasures have good looking beans and several stands have many types of eggplants, but those are on the downslide as well. There is a freeze in our near future and farmers are struggling to bring in good produce. Nevia of Bodhitree thinks she'll only be coming in for two more weeks, for instance.

Stokes has many pumpkins, lots of big bunches of herbs, and lemongrass. S&SO still has a good deal of produce, as do Paffenroth and Miglorelli, but you can see things starting to lessen in amounts and types of vegetable.
