While apples and squash often grab the autumn spotlight, root vegetables remain the

unsung heroes of the fall harvest.

Roots are the stars of every hearty soup and delicious meal during these cold months ahead.

So, we're here for them on Saturday to give the accolades they deserve and highlight the farms who grow them. Find yourself surrounded by watermelon, purple daikon, black, red and luobo radishes, purple top, Scarlett, hakurei and red turnips, white, orange and purple sweet potatoes, garlic, beets and carrot, parsnips and more.

Where to Find Your Roots:

James Durr Farm - Cranberry Hall Farm

Pineland's Produce - Black Sheep Farm

Fernbrook Farms - Homebody Farm

Interstellar Farm
