Bringing Local Farmers Right to Your Table
Nalls is here to be your everyday farmer’s market. We work with several area farms and orchards to bring you the freshest fruits and veggies possible. We strive to only carry the best produce and buy as much local produce as possible. We also carry heirloom produce from local Mennonite farms, and supplement our offerings with more conventionally-grown produce staples like bananas and avocados.
Nalls strongly believes in seasonal eating, so the produce center is constantly changing to bring in the fruits and veggies that are at their peak right now. Peaches do not grow in this region in the winter, so if you find them in the grocery store in December, they’re probably been shipped across the world and picked green. That’s why it is so special when peaches come into season in the Summer, because they are just picked from the tree. Produce that is eaten in season is always going to be fresher, tastier, and better for the local economy.
So what’s in season during the Fall? Pears, grapes, kale, collards, chard, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, and more types of apples and hard squash than you ever knew existed. Check out our guide to the different apple varieties we carry throughout the Fall – you may love honeycrisp but have you tried evercrisp or snapdragon? And here is our guide to the different hard squash varieties that we carry – we just know that you’re going to love those honeynut squash. Visit the shop to find all sorts of interesting local heirloom varieties of your Fall favorites, or join our Crop Share program to get the best in seasonal produce, every single week.
