- Lettuce
- Kale
- Cabbage
- Pumpkin
- Beets
- Radishes
- Garlic
- Apples
- Pears
- Cranberries
- Dates

Delicious Meal Options With Fresh Produce
After picking up some local produce, it’s time to get cooking. Fall is the time to cozy up with a warm mug of apple cider, sit around a fire, and enjoy a hearty meal made with filling veggies.
- Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese—Add a twist to a home-cooked classic. Throw some pureed butternut squash into your cheese mix to add richness and body to this dish.
- Chicken Pot Pie—stuff a delicious pot pie to the brim with local veggies like green beans, sweet corn, zucchini, and potatoes.
- Beef Stew—With a generous helping of veggies, chunks of beef, and savory herbs, beef stew is a warming meal you can enjoy in the quickly cooling temps.
Enjoy it all in your gorgeously decorated outdoor area provided with help from our garden center.

The farmers market and garden center not only raise funds to help support Eggleston’s various programs, they also support our mission by creating job opportunities for adults with disabilities.
