As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, our cooking naturally shifts toward heartier meals, lingering dinner parties and cozy autumn entertaining. This season, we are focusing on ingredients and kitchen staples that support sustainable ecosystems.
From grass-fed cheeses perfect for autumn salads to hot-smoked salmon ready for cozy pasta nights, we’ve gathered some of our favorite fall essentials for you.
Read on to see why we love them!
We have long been fans of Buf Creamery but their grass-fed buffalo milk cheeses truly shine during the autumn gathering season. Hand-stretched and rich with cream from buffalo raised in the pastured hills of Colombia, we especially love tearing open the hot chili or basil flavors to toss over warm, roasted squash, fold into weeknight pastas or pair with fresh, sweet stone fruits for an effortless harvest salad.
There is rarely a time when we aren’t thinking about our gardens—from planning and planting to pruning and harvesting. Because we want to fully enjoy the fruits of that labor, we are that much more intentional about what we put into the ground to nurture them. True Organic fits the bill with their organic fertilizers and soils. With more than half of our Edible Communities team based in California, their citrus and avocado fertilizer is exactly what the season calls for.
Living in landlocked states means part of our team relies heavily on top-tier freezer and pantry staples to get our seafood fix. Changing Seas continuously delivers on sustainable sourcing, and this hot-smoked salmon is our newest weeknight secret weapon. Unlike delicate cold-smoked salmon, this version is gently hot-smoked for a warm, flaky texture that flakes beautifully into comforting cacio e pepe, seasonal grain bowls or a quick, smoky dip when friends pop over unexpectedly. It gives you all the depth of a slow-cooked meal in zero time.
Big Tree Farms has earned a permanent spot in our pantries thanks to their commitment to organic, fair trade, and regenerative agriculture with over 20,000 smallholder farmers in Indonesia. We love their coconut aminos and coconut sugar. When crisp weather hits their tomato-free Naughty Bali BBQ Sauce is exactly what our fall cookouts and cozy meals need. Brewed with organic coconut aminos, tamarind, ginger and chilies, it brings a rich, soy-free, gluten-free umami kick to our favorite fall veggies and proteins.
