With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, it's that time of year again - when we #pullupachair for the virtual Thanksgiving Potluck hosted by our friends at the Food Network.

Every week our friends at Real Time Farms feature the top photos of farms, food artisans, and farmers markets shared on their site.

Farmers are a dedicated bunch, but it takes an extra level of perseverance to farm in Michigan's Upper Pennisula. Farmer David Eagleton says they chose the name Immerfrost Farm for good reason, "The weather can surprise you in the U.P. Just because you're past the average frost free date doesn't mean you won't get a hard frost at the end of June, or August for that matter. Growing plenty of cold hearty crops like leeks helps." ("Immerfrost" is German for "always frost.") So what are they planting more of next year? "Okra." Okra? "Yeah okra, weather permitting of course. Who knew they liked that stuff up here?" Click here to see more, and then add a photo of your own - you might be featured here next week!

Your dinner choice is black and white (chicken or fish? Pasta or rice?). If you choose beef from Scantic Valley Farm in Somers, Connecticut, the cows really ARE black and white! Their distinctive heritage breed Belted Galloway cows spend their days grazing in the fields and soaking up the sun, just waiting to be the answer to the question, "What's for dinner?" Click here to see more, and then add a photo of your own - you might be featured here next week!

Come October, pumpkins are everywhere. And not just in our friendly neighborhood patches -- they're overflowing in farmers' markets, on stoops. They're in our pasta, in our pies, in our lattes.

Now that apple season is in full swing, it's the ideal time for a u-pick excursion, like to the Dutch Farm Market and Orchard in South Haven, Michigan.

It’s like clockwork: right around the time the leaves start to change color, we start seeking solace in our pantries.
