Who else is enjoying the cool, crisp temperatures in the morning as you head out for your morning walk or run? There’s an abundance of new activities that come with the fall season that we’re busy adding to our calendars from day trips to pick apples at an orchard to visits to the pumpkin patch, road trips to see the leaves change in the beautiful mountains, backyard at-home tailgates before the big football game on TV, and bonfires as we take advantage of the chillier evenings.
We’re busy at the farm, too, as our Field Operations Team tends to our fall greens. The greens that we transplanted at the end of summer are ready for harvesting and our direct-seeded plants are not too far behind, either. Our fields are overflowing with fresh, incredible produce and we’re excited to get it into stores and into your hands for you to enjoy. We’re growing things like green onions, cilantro, collard greens, kale, and more!
How do you enjoy fresh produce in the autumn?
Warm up with a piping hot bowl of our White Bean and Veggie Chili that includes an entire cup of our signature Nature’s Greens® Collard Greens and our fresh cilantro, alongside a handful of other vegetables. It’s hearty, delicious, and will warm you right up this season.
White Bean and Veggie Chili
What You Do:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion in half of broth until translucent. Add zucchini, collards, bell pepper, tomatoes, tomato paste, and remaining broth, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, lime juice, three quarters of the cilantro, chopped (leave remaining leaves whole), salt, chili powder, and cumin. Quickly bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and stir occasionally for 15 minutes. Stir in beans to heat through. Just before serving garnish with cilantro and avocado.

If chili isn’t your thing, our Smoked Sausage, Kale, and Potato Soup features our Nature’s Greens® Kale, potatoes, smoked sausage, and a host of delicious seasonings to make a tasty soup that we know you’ll enjoy fresh from the pot on the stove or even as leftovers the next day at lunch.
Add a festive touch to your meals at the end of the month with some of our Halloween-themed recipes. Our Jack-O-Guac recipe is the perfect treat to take to a friend’s house before your children head out trick-or-treating. Bring our Spooktacular Halloween Treats or our Tricky Kale Cake to work the week of Halloween for everyone to enjoy as they get into the spirit for the spookiest evening of the year.
If you’re headed out for a quick day trip to the apple orchard, pumpkin patch, or to see the beautiful fall leaves up in higher elevations, pack a snack to take along for the ride. Our Chocolate Kale Zucchini Mini Muffins will keep everyone in the car happy until it’s time to stop for a full meal. Plus, these muffins sneak in a banana, zucchini, and a cup of our Nature’s Greens® Kale!
We can’t wait to dive headfirst into all of the fun activities and adventures that the autumn season holds in store for us, along with all of the delicious fresh produce that the season brings. What fall produce is your favorite? How are you enjoying it this season?
