If you’re looking for a seasonal fruit to add to your market haul, keep an eye out for persimmons! This bright orange fruit is back at the market, and is a sweet sign that fall is just around the corner.

You can find locally-grown persimmons from Lightsey Farms at both Bell and Mueller. Depending on the variety and ripeness, persimmons can be enjoyed fresh on their own, sliced into salads, added to baked goods, or spread onto toast as a "jam". Tip: If your persimmons are still firm, let them ripen on the counter at room temperature for a few days. Once they’re soft and sweet, they’re ready to eat.

Stop by Lightsey Farms at the market this weekend and pick up a few to enjoy while they’re in season!
TFM at Bell: Saturdays, 9am-1pm | TFM at Mueller: Sundays, 10am-2pm
