October Seasonal Fruit & Veg Report
🌟Fruit & Veg Market Report🌟
The English apple and pear season is in full swing. Cox, Pink Lady, and Egremont Russet apples are on offer, alongside English Conference pears, with Comice coming later.
October’s highlights include Bursa black figs, French Sollies figs, and Kaki fruit (persimmons).
The local vegetable range is vast this month, from earthy roots like beetroot, turnips, and bunched carrots to brassicas: kale, cauliflower, Romanesco, purple sprouting, and Brussel sprouts and tops.
Leeks are particularly good as the weather cools, and there’s a variety of squashes and pumpkins for Halloween.
Summer tomatoes have finished, making way for winter varieties like Marinda and Camone. While UK salads are mostly done, watercress is still available nearly year-round.
October is also perfect for wild mushrooms, with Trompette, Pied de Mouton, Chanterelle, and Ceps in season, alongside cultivated grey Oyster mushrooms.
