Local, fresh produce is certainly to be enjoyed all year round.
However, there's something about this time of the year - with Halloween and (whisper it quietly) Christmas edging closer that's incredibly satisfying and rewarding about sourcing great, local food and drink.
And nothing shouts fresh, local produce more than vegetables!
Here are six fantastic local businesses offering the best, tastiest veg options this month and beyond.
