Developed to be smaller and thinner skinned than its ancestor the hubbard squash, red kuri squash was developed on the island of Hokkaido in the 1920s. Mildly sweet with a velvety texture, some liken red kuri squash’s flavor to chestnuts, hence its name (栗) meaning chestnut in Japanese. Beautiful roasted or grilled, and in both sweet and savory recipes like soups, curries, or baked goods. 🎶: Breezin’ by George Benson #redkurisquash #hokkaidopumpkin #local #organic #redkuri #squash #california #squashseason #californiagrown #produce #fallharvest #seasonalproduce #seasonaleating #eattheseasons #knowyourfarmer #farmtotable #farmtofork #buylocal #eatlocal #localproduce #pacificproduce #exceptionalservice #everytable #everyday

The exact origin of the Warren pear is unclear, but we do know that horticulturist (and founding member of the North American Fruit Explorers) Thomas Warren discovered them in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1976. The sweet and smooth variety has since become Frog Hollow Farm’s signature pear, who describe this year’s harvest as having “tropical notes of papaya, pineapple and guava”. Pair them with savory cheeses or chicken liver mousse, roast alongside pork, or bake into a galette or Tarte Tatin. #organic #warrenpear #california #pearseason #californiagrown #pear #cagrown #freshfruit #fallharvest #seasonaleating #eattheseasons #eatlocal #localproduce #seasonalproduce #knowyourfarmer #farmtotable #farmtofork #pacificproduce #exceptionalservice #everyday #everytable

Shaped between an apple and a pear, quince is firm and bright when raw, but cooking it reveals fabulous sweetness and releases anthocyanins, which turn it warm hues of pink and red. Peel and gently poach to use in baking or alongside meats, turn into divine compote with a touch of lime and vanilla, or make membrillo (quince cheese) to adorn cheese and charcuterie platters. #quince #organic #californiagrown #fallharvest #california #freshfruit #cagrown #seasonaleating #eattheseasons #eatlocal #localproduce #seasonalproduce #knowyourfarmer #farmtotable #farmtofork #pacificproduce #exceptionalservice #everyday #everytable

We are lucky to enjoy beautiful summer produce well into fall, but as summer starts fading away, we’re reaching the bittersweet transition period. The royalty of winter squashes - the smooth and sweet butternut squash - is here to comfort us through this phase. Perfect roasted, in soups or in stuffed pastas, butternut squash also makes a great meat substitute for hearty vegetarian and vegan meals. #butternutsquash #local #california #produce #californiagrown #fallharvest #seasonalproduce #seasonaleating #eattheseasons #knowyourfarmer #farmtotable #farmtofork #buylocal #eatlocal #localproduce #pacificproduce #exceptionalservice #everytable #everyday

One might associate autumn with apples, but pear season is here, and its star is the Asian pear! Crisp, floral and sweet, they are a fine seasonal treat. Enjoy as is or turn them into slaw, sorbet or Baesuk — a spiced Korean steamed pear dessert that doubles as a popular cold remedy.
