Wow, your children must be saints! When I was little, my parents dragged my brother and I along to pick strawberries, and I HATED IT. But then again, I hate being outside in the hot sun, and strawberry farms just don't seem to be inside in the air condiioning very often. I'm very frugal, but I just don't think I can bring myself to go to a U-pick farm. Now, I have picked fruit from friends and family members' yards and farms for free, and I can handle that! Once I walked away with an entire grocery sack full of grapes. We had some grape pie that night :) Jodie R.’s last blog post..I have some weeding to do

When I was younger are parents used to take us all the time to these U-Pick places. I've never worked so hard in my life! But the reward was pounds of beautiful, fresh, local berries. TStrump’s last blog post..Car Sharing

Here’s a link to find U-Pick farms near you: http://www.pickyourown.org/

Ki, I’ll let you know. I need to figure out where all the U-Pick farms are in this area. I haven’t done this since I moved from Roseburg.

Hey friend, when you get ready to go pick, let me know, I would love to tag along for some fun times and picking with friends is more fun, plus I need you to point me in the right direction!

We are a fruit-picking family here. We like to pick strawberries and blueberries in the summer and apples and pumpkins in the fall. We have some pretty great farms locally here in south jersey. It ends up being a whole day for us, we take hayrides, go pickin, and visit/feed the farm animals.

We've been frequenting U-pick and other farms since we were city folks looking to get the kids a little fresh air back in the '80s. Now living among the farms for more than a decade we realize how lucky we are to eat such fresh produce. It really tastes so much different straight from the plant! We are blessed to have access and also to have grown children who remember the experiences so fondly. Anyone who can should give their kids the experience. It will be a happy memory!
