What's in season in Michigan

In September, Michigan farms are harvesting lettuce & salad greens, spinach, radishes, kale & chard, beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, green beans, cucumbers, zucchini & summer squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, onions, winter squash, pumpkins, Brussels sprouts, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, melons, apples, pears, and grapes. Eggs, pastured meat, dairy, and honey are available year-round.

These are typical harvest windows for Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Exact timing moves with each year's weather, and the north runs later than the south. For crop-specific timing, MSU Extension publishes guidance through the season.
