What are the three surefire signs of fall? School is back in session, football has kicked off for the season, and Stew Leonard’s local apples and pumpkins have arrived! But more than just apples and pumpkins lining the store’s produce department and Garden Shoppe, this time of year Stew Leonard’s has a bountiful offering of farm fresh foods that each herald in the tastes, sights, and sounds of autumn. Here are Stew’s top ten fall favorites:
