November is peak harvest season in and around Austin—a rare overlap of late summer’s lingering bounty and fall’s cool-weather crops. It’s a rhythm unique to Central Texas, and one we think deserves its own guide.
May you find delight in discovering the cornucopia of what’s growing nearby and plan your Thanksgiving menu around the freshest local ingredients this time of year!
