How to find a Pick-Your-Own farm

Whether you call it pick-your-own, PYO or U-pick, it's easy to find one near you! There is a "Start here" button (at the top of the left of every page). You then select your local area (country, state/province) and then region/county or local metropolitan area. Just scroll down the page that appears, to see tree farms, lots or events listed by county. The search engine can be helpful, too. There are hundreds more pages of related resources, like how to store fruit and vegetables

You can also find a related fruit or vegetable festival (like a tomato festival, corn fest, blueberry festival, strawberry festival, an applefest or more) or even an Easter Egg hunt at farms and churches!

What are the advantages of shopping at a local farmer's market?

Three words sum up the advantages: "local" and "farm market".

Shopping locally means you'll

save gas, which means saving money, and create less less pollution in your drive,
pollute less, as the food does not need to be transported from a distance,
eat fresher food, with higher vitamin levels, as less time passes from harvesting to purchasing,
eat tastier food; again, as less time passes from harvesting to purchasing,
eat healthier food: since it does not need to be shipped, and it will be purchased sooner, less (or none) fungicides are needed.

Shopping at a genuine farmer's market means you'll be closer to the source of your food, get to know the farms, the farmers, the people who produce the food that you eat, and put into your family's bodies. They are more likely to listen to your needs and be socially responsible, than a giant ag farm in a foreign country.
