Eating With the Seasons in Quebec
Autumn is one of the most vibrant seasons for Quebec organic agriculture. As temperatures drop across the St. Lawrence Valley, root vegetables concentrate their natural sugars, and orchard trees yield their sweetest harvests of the year.
1. Heritage & Orchard Apples
Forget bland, wax-coated supermarket apples. In our October boxes, we feature premium certified organic cultivars:
- Honeycrisp: Explosively juicy with balanced tartness.
- Cosmic Crisp: Exceptional crunch that resists browning naturally when sliced.
- Spartan & Cortland: Perfect for traditional Quebec apple crisps and slow-simmered homemade applesauce.
2. Specialty Autumn Pears
Italian Abate Fetel and golden Bosc pears reach peak aromatic sweetness in mid-October. Slice them fresh over goat cheese or bake them with Quebec maple syrup.
3. Root Vegetables & Squash
Sweet potatoes, orange carrots, and yellow farm potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene, potassium, and slow-burning carbohydrates to fuel you through chilly Montreal mornings.
