Your Fall Produce Guide

Do you like to eat locally? While the summer has an abundance of fresh produce for you to grab at your local farmer’s market, as fall hits, many wonder what local produce is still available. Below are the top five things to eat this autumn, available in most regions in the country.

Apples! All hail fall, the season of apples! From apple pie to applesauce, apple slaw and more, there are hundreds of ways to enjoy this crispy sweet (or tart!) treat. Look for local apples in your grocery store or drive up to a nearby farm to pick yourself.

Broccoli. Although it does grow in the warmer months, broccoli lingers into the fall. Roast up some spears with garlic and olive oil, or pull out your wok for a quick stir-fry.

Blackberries. Most of us think of summer as the season for berries, but blackberries are available in some regions well into the early fall. Great for pies, smoothies, muffins and fruit salads, these juicy berries are packed with antioxidants—great for fighting colds as the “sick” season approaches.

Cabbage. Stuffed cabbage, baked cabbage, stewed cabbage, coleslaw! This cruciferous veggie is very versatile, and extremely inexpensive. Grab a head or four and get to munching.

Cauliflower. Many mistake cauliflower as being void of nutrients due to its pale coloring, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Packed with vitamins, this veggie is great raw, steamed or baked. Some are even getting creative by making cauliflower “rice” and pizza crusts. Hit up Google for some innovative cauliflower recipes.

Luxury Attached Homes by Grandfather Homes

Grandfather Homes, a luxury custom homebuilder, has started building more luxury attached homes. Think of them like the best duplexes money can buy. The company calls them “duets”, but they are single family homes that share one wall with another single family home. Each home is separate and is sold separately. This is a departure from how duplexes typically work. Usually the entire structure is purchased and held by one party, and the second side rented to a tenant.

Towers at Mattie Rose Rendering

Grandfather Homes started with a few infill “duets” on Ideal Way. These helped pave the way for more as they sold as soon as they were built. Just down the street is their next project called The Fountains at Mattie Rose and included six more homes (three duets). There is currently only one home unsold from this project listed at $805,000.

Their two new projects have us really excited, The Towers at Mattie Rose in Elizabeth and the Townes at Mattie Rose in Myers Park. These are both much bigger projects with more units to keep up with demand.

The Towers at Mattie Rose is located between Elizabeth and Midtown. There are 18 units here, duets and even triets (three attached homes). This makes it Grandfather Homes largest duet project yet. These homes range in price from $730,000 to almost $800,000. Most units are two or three story and center on a main roadway, green living street, or Woonerf. This Dutch inspired design space doubles as a gathering space for residents. Many of these homes have skyline views and are walking distance to area restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and the CityLYNX Gold Line Extension.

Townes at Mattie Rose Rendering

The Townes at Mattie Rose is a smaller project with four units, just three units still available. These have not broken ground yet so there is still opportunity to customize one of these homes. They will begin at $900,000 and will have luxury features like site-finished hardwoods, luxury trim packages, custom cabinetry, Thermador appliances, and solid surface counters. This project is within walking distance to Freedom Park and Park Road Shopping Center making it a perfect location.
