fall harvest
Seasonal crop collection
Fall harvest refers to the gathering of crops in autumn, when most temperate-zone agriculture reaches maturity.
The phrase emphasizes seasonality—corn, pumpkins, apples, and grains are traditional fall harvest crops.
It also evokes rural traditions and festivals celebrating the end of the growing season: The fall harvest brought the whole community together.
