Recently my boys and I met some friends and went to a U-pick strawberry farm. Besides the fun that we had outdoors with friends, we also were able to pick the best-tasting strawberries I've ever had for only $1.49/pound - $4.26 for all you see in my box.
Last year, I missed the strawberry picking, but I signed up for a crop update e-mails from our local farm. If you're not sure where to find a farm near you, visit Pick Your Own.org to find a local farm.
What about you? Do you enjoy picking your own fruits and vegetables from a farm? What's your favorite item to pick?

We did this too! As a matter of fact we had just eaten our last pint of freezer jam the day we went.
We usually go to the same place for Raspberries sometime in August.

We Do this too, Everyday everyone in the family puts there change from the day in a jar, and come time to pick pick fresh fruit we cash in that change so we can pick more, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, peaches, apples, then we make jams, pie fillings, dehydrate some, for snaking and uses in breads and muffins, then what ever is lesft over we wash and freeze (except for apples) when we want a sweet refreshing snack we just get a handful out of the freezer 🙂 btw I love your site!
