Photos of the Day – September 16, 2010: Autumn at the Markets with Maxwell’s Farm

Autumn is in the air!  We were walking through the Union Square Greenmarket on Monday and noticed that the colors have changed dramatically in just a week!  There are  a few summer stalwarts – peaches and plums – but fall produce is building up its momentum in the markets.

These fruits and vegetables from Maxwell’s Farm in Changewater, NJ are taking on a distinctly fall-like set of hues, from the golden pumpkins that are now resting where the peaches had been a week ago, to the purple concord grapes, and the deep red, yellow and orange peppers and gourds.   What seasonal changes are you noticing in your local Greenmarket?
