Winter Produce

It is getting chilly outside as the official start of winter is right around the corner. Even though the trees are not blooming and the temperature has dropped, there is still fresh produce to be found. Right now there is an abundance of root vegetables, dark leafy greens, and winter squash.

Also, the Fredericksburg Farmer's Market located downtown at Hurkamp Park will continue to be open through the winter months and will feature some seafood vendors in addition to the vendors of baked goods and produce that you normally see.

Click here for more information on which foods are in season and here for an idea of what you can do with those root vegetables.
