Nina we have a couple of locations near me that we can pick our own produce and fruit. Wish we had as many as you have and a longer availability to them like you.

Hi Barbara Todaro ~ that's what I'd call berry comparison shopping! Hall Family Farm is about 2 minutes from my house and I can attest to its popularity spring through fall.

Fresh picked produce is the best . . . . There's a nice choice of farms in the Metro Charlotte North Carolina to pick your own produce.

Good luck and success.

Will Hamm ~ I got "spoiled" by the markets in Paris when I lived there, so I love any fresh market experience to this day.

Wonderful to see that your local area has so many farmers markets to choose from, Nina Hollander. I think we're far healthier if we buy in that manner. Can't wait for the Chicagoland area farmer markets to get into full swing!
