Sweet. Musky. Robust. Native Concord grapes are here, but can’t stick around for long. Expect them to last around 10 days, so get some now for your sorbets, jams, and soups that will get you through the fall. This variety is a classic, and not hybridized as many of them have been. Tiny seeds add a bit of crunch to the sweet flesh, and the thick dark skin slips off easily as is characteristic of the American grape variety Vitis labrusca. 

Locally foraged lobster mushrooms are in abundance at the moment. While these peculiar fungi get their name from the bright orange-red hue, some claim they have a certain seafood funk. If that’s not your thing, throw together a colorful duxelles or “lobster” risotto – the creaminess will be a perfect balance. The vivid color actually comes from the fungus that invades the host mushroom, which is generally a bland, unpalatable Russula. The fungus contorts the host into shapes a Cirque de Soleil performer would envy, and transforms it into an edible, sought-after specimen.
