Pick Your Own Way to Green
By Tina Merritt of Tina in Virginia
A few years ago, I was in the local grocery store with my young son. There was a prominent display of blueberries at the front of the store and, of course, he wanted some. When I saw the prices; however, I was in shock! It was blueberry season and the price was $3.99/pint! When I got home, I logged into my computer and looked for a blueberry farm with U-pick blueberries. Fortunately, there was one only 30 minutes away. My husband came with us and we had a great time enjoying "family time" in the outdoors and eating as many blueberries as we put in our buckets. We wound up picking 3 large buckets-full and the total cost? $17.00. We had enough blueberries to last us through the following season. Now, whenever we need in-season produce, I always check the pick-your-own farms first. My favorite site is: pickyourown.org. Not only do we save a lot of money, but we also know where our food comes from and help support the local farmers and economy.
