Celebrating What's In Season and Local Agriculture!

As Arizona transitions into the vibrant hues of fall, the state's agricultural bounty shifts toward hearty, colorful harvests that celebrate the desert's unique growing conditions. Drawing from the wisdom of former Arizona farmer Julie Murphree, who has deep roots in the local ag community, this podcast invites us to savor the freshest picks straight from the field. For a comprehensive guide, Murphree recommends visiting FillYourPlate.org, the go-to resource for Arizona's seasonal produce calendar. Murphree highlights a diverse array of fall favorites thriving across the Grand Canyon State: leafy greens bursting with crisp vitality, fiery chilis adding Southwestern spice, still-in-season sweet corn flourishing up north, tart-sweet apples perfect for pies, jack-o'-lantern pumpkins and velvety winter squash for autumn feasts, nutrient-packed broccoli and cabbage, an endless rainbow of lettuces—from buttery Bibb to peppery arugula—a medley of onions in every shade, and earthy root vegetables like carrots, beets, and potatoes that store the essence of the soil.
