Pick Your Own Fruit and Veggies

I found a great website for information on places you can go with your family or organization to pick your own fruit and vegetables.  Go to www.pickyourown.org and enter your state.  The site directs you to different regions in your state to find growers who allow you to pick your own.  This site even connects you with locations in other countries to pick your own! 

During the summer, we usually take the kids to Underwood Family Farms in Ventura County, CA.  They have two locations but my favorite is their Somis location that has hundeds and hundreds of blueberry bushes.  We take home 20 pounds or more of blueberries which the kids eat or I freeze or I bake!  We also visit Leona Valley once a year to pick cherries.  Ranier, or the white variety are my favorite.

If you have been picking in Southern California, and the location is not on the list at www.pickyourown.org, let me know.  I am always looking for new places to take the kids.
