October is here and so is the wonderful fall produce from the garden. Fall vegetables, for some reason, seem comforting. Maybe because it's cooler and there are so many soups and stews to create. What's not to love?   

Come join us at Woodside Farms at Chickahominy Falls where the Farm Stand is overflowing with veggies and more,  the Event Barn is busy with classes and workshops,  and our final "Dinner in the Field" for the season will be happening.
