What to do with October
Every recipe here was written by the farm that grew the thing. Nobody on this platform is a chef, and the person who has been picking feijoas for twenty years does not need one to tell them what to do with the windfalls.
Recipes
Eating fresh, seasonal produce is a simple way to support your health while caring for the planet.
Fruits and vegetables harvested at their natural peak offer great flavour and valuable nutrients, making a healthy, plant-rich diet more enjoyable.
Choosing seasonal and locally grown food can also mean better value, fewer food miles, less packaging and reduced waste.
By cooking with what nature provides throughout the year, you can enjoy fresher food while supporting a more sustainable food system.
Recipes come from producers, not from us. Until one is written, this section stays empty rather than being filled with recipes we wrote and attributed to nobody.
What is in season, below, works today.
In season in October
Producers tell us which months each thing is available and this reads that directly. It fills as they fill it in.
