As the lingering warmth of summer gently gives way to the crispness of early autumn, September ushers in a season of rich harvests and changing hues.

September marks the beginning of meteorological autumn, bringing with it cooler temperatures and shorter days. This month is a time of transition, where summer’s produce overlaps with autumn’s heartier offerings.

September marks the autumnal equinox, the official start of autumn when daylight and night are approximately equal. This symbolises balance and harmony and is a time of reflection and preparation for the colder months. The equinox is often celebrated with harvest festivals, a time to give thanks for the year’s crops with community feasts and festivities.

It’s a time when the ocean offers its most bountiful harvest, with succulent seafood such as crab, lobster, and oysters gracing our tables.

Meanwhile, the fields and orchards yield an impressive array of vegetables, including the last of the summer’s juicy tomatoes, vibrant bell peppers, and the early arrivals of hearty root vegetables.

At Faber, our menus transition to feature a perfect combination of late summer and early autumn produce, along with responsibly sourced seafood that reflects the changing season.
