It’s the first Friday of fall, and Ross “The Produce Boss” and Dan “The Produce Man” are reminiscing about their retail display days — back when fall produce departments came alive with vibrant displays of pumpkins, gourds, apples, and squashes.

Dan shares an important tip: when buying pumpkins, never pick them up by the stem — the weight of the pumpkin can snap it right off!
