Not all of us have the time, turf, or sunlight to grow our own fruit and vegetables, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pick our own! At pickyourown.org, locate a farm near you where you can “pick-your-own” seasonal produce at its nutritional peak. What a satisfying summer outing!
This time of year, some common crops in the U.S. include blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, and plums. Of course, the selection will vary based on where you live. They suggest using the contact information provided to confirm the information posted before heading out.
