As the leaves turn and the air cools, Atlanta diners crave warmth, comfort, and creativity. Fall is the perfect time for restaurants to refresh menus with seasonal ingredients that celebrate the harvest — and Athena Farms has exactly what local chefs need to make it happen.
With decades of experience serving Atlanta’s foodservice community, Athena Farms delivers fresh produce, specialty items, and pantry staples designed to make your fall menu shine. This season, our featured lineup includes Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash, Canned Pumpkin Purée, Granny Smith Apples, Caramel Syrup, and Pumpkin Pie Spice — each one offering rich flavor and endless versatility in the kitchen.
Butternut Squash: The Comfort Classic
Few ingredients capture fall like butternut squash. Its naturally sweet flavor and smooth texture make it perfect for velvety soups, roasted sides, or seasonal pasta fillings. Whether you’re running a fine-dining kitchen or a fast-casual concept, this 40-lb case helps you batch-prep efficiently while keeping flavor fresh.
Chef Tip: Roast cubes with olive oil and thyme, then finish with a drizzle of brown butter or maple syrup for an easy autumn side that sells.
Acorn Squash: A Versatile Showpiece
With its scalloped edges and golden interior, acorn squash adds beauty and depth to your fall plates. Use it roasted, stuffed, or even pureed — its nutty flavor works across both sweet and savory applications. Packed in 30–35 lb cases, Athena Farms’ acorn squash gives Atlanta chefs a reliable seasonal favorite that guests love.
Chef Tip: Fill halves with farro, cranberries, and herbs for a vegetarian entrée that brings flavor and color to the table.
Pumpkin Purée: Consistency in Every Can
Our Canned Pumpkin Purée (6/#10 cans) provides pure, natural pumpkin flavor with no peeling or prepping required. Perfect for pies, soups, sauces, or baked goods, it’s a must-have for any kitchen looking to streamline fall production without sacrificing quality.
Chef Tip: Combine with house-made stock, cream, and a touch of curry for a smooth, warming pumpkin bisque.
Granny Smith Apples: Tart, Crisp, and Reliable
Every chef knows the power of a good apple — and Granny Smiths bring the perfect balance of tartness and crunch. Use them to brighten a slaw, sweeten a compote, or top your seasonal salads. Athena Farms delivers fresh, firm apples packed 56–72 count per case — ideal for both front- and back-of-house use.
Chef Tip: Pair with caramel syrup for classic fall desserts or sliced into a kale salad for a fresh contrast.
Caramel Syrup: Sweet Seasonal Finish
Our Caramel Syrup (12/22 oz) is ready to pour and full of warm flavor — a simple way to transform coffees, desserts, and breakfast dishes into fall favorites. Add it to a latte, drizzle over cheesecake, or use it as a finishing touch for French toast.
Chef Tip: Mix caramel syrup with butter and a pinch of sea salt to create a quick, decadent sauce for baked apples or bread pudding.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: The Aroma of Autumn
Nothing says “fall” like pumpkin spice. Athena Farms’ Pumpkin Pie Spice (16 oz) blend features cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove — perfectly balanced to enhance both sweet and savory recipes. A small addition that makes a big sensory impact.
Chef Tip: Whisk into pancake batter, sprinkle over roasted nuts, or blend into whipped cream for easy seasonal flair.
