It's always sad to say goodbye to the relaxing warmth of summer. I love the carefree bliss of heading to the beach for the weekend, the joy of spending the evening on the porch drinking a glass of vino, and the freedom to use the grill to the maximum and take my dinner parties outside. Luckily, summer flows rather smoothly into the bounties of fall. The autumn leaves, warm cloths, turning off the AC, and of course, all of my favorite fall activities. Welcome fall by heading outside and enjoying the season the green way.

  • Build a greener tailgate. Enjoy football season by celebrating with organic beers, recycling all the waste, composting, and eating locally.

  • Go apple picking. Take the kids to a local orchard and enjoy the best apples the area has to offer. Enjoy local cider, caramel apples, and the fresh local pies that support your local farmers.

  • Go hiking at the peak of autumn color. Find out when the autumn leaves will be at their peak of color and head out on an awesome hike to enjoy it firsthand.

  • Visit a pumpkin patch. Instead of getting your pumpkin at the grocery store, head straight to the source. Take the kids to a local pumpkin patch so they can learn where pumpkins come from and how they grow.
