Pick-Your-Own Farms
Filed under: General Health
The other day I was perusing the internet to help me find more local produce and I stumbled across the amazing little website called pickyourown.org. It is totally awesome. The best feature is the state list, where you can choose the state you live, pick the local county and it displays farms where you can pick your own produce, especially apples and pumpkins right now. It will even tell you if they are organic or not.
My one disclaimer is that this is not a fancy website, this is some low-budget awesomeness created by someone who just truly cares about this sort of thing, and it makes me love it that much more.
It also offers some other really neat features like crop calendars that let you know what is in season in your area. They also offers tips on picking produce, storing it, and some really delicious recipes (which might need a little modifying, but that is half the fun anyway)!
It really is an incredible and very helpful site and I am excited to share it with all of you. Happy picking!

There are several farms in my area where you can pick your own berries and I love to go and stock up. There used to be a muscadine grape vineyard nearby but they closed. There is a local orchard that we buy apples and peaches from but they pick them for you. It’s the only place I know of in this area where apples are grown. It’s great to be able to support local growers.
