In the race to promote the produce of the next holiday or season, The Fresh Market takes first prize for fall 2023.

You can bet there'll be pumpkins at this party.

On the first day of August, the Greensboro, N.C.-based retailer announced its fall-themed products, which have new packaging, some of which are exclusive to The Fresh Market, according to a news release.

As the autumn harvest rolls in, The Fresh Market will highlight seasonal produce, such as apples, butternut squash and pumpkins. The retailer is a large supporter of local vendors, so shoppers will be encouraged to check for signage as they shop to discover locally sourced and curated items.

The Fresh Market is also celebrating the fall season with a special promotion. Running Aug. 2-8, guests who buy $50 or more in gift cards for Dick’s Sporting Goods, Lululemon, Academy Sports, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jimmy John’s or Subway will receive a $10 The Fresh Market register coupon to be used on a future purchase, valid for seven days.  

Expect pumpkin-spiced everything for the pumpkin obsessed. But besides those treats, there are also supplies for hearty soups and those planning a festive gathering, tailgating, seeking comfort food or simply eager to embrace the spirit of fall.
