Living in cities for several years, I have missed out on access to incredibly fresh produce. I never bought strawberries because they were usually big and red and that was where the likeness to actual fruit ended. I went to a pick your own strawberry field today, and it was amazing. The fruit was so vibrant, shiny, juicy and sweet. It put its supermarket brethren to shame.
If you have missed out on the pick your own experience—eating strawberries off the vine, gorging yourself on apples—this website www.pickyourown.org is a great resource. You can choose your state, and if you scroll down you can find a harvest calendar that tells you when fruits and vegetables are in season in your area. It also provides a list of pick your own farms by county.
-Hey Rach-the fields are calling; they want their strawberries back.
