Celebrate the arrival of fall and autumn produce with these photos of the fresh apples, juicy pears and ripe persimmons that have reappeared at the Santa Monica farmers market this season.

Premium dried Calimyrna figs from Mesple Farms, grown in Madera and Chowchilla, are large, plump, moist and packed with honeyed sweetness. They derive a nutty flavor from the coatings of their seeds, which result from pollination by fig wasps.
