Posted on Jun 10th 2008 6:00AM by Bethany SandersFiled Under: Daily Fit Tip
When it comes to good nutrition, you can't beat freshly picked fruit and vegetables. You don't have to be a gardener to get them either.
If you don't have space for a garden or just don't have a green thumb, you can still have a fun gardening experience at a pick-your-own farm. Strawberries are in season right now, but other farms may offer blueberries, blackberries, peas and other veggies, apples, or even pumpkins in the fall.
Not only are these fruits and veggies fresh picked and usually less expensive than at the grocery store, you'll get a chance to see exactly where and how they were grown. It's fun for kids too! Find a pick-your-own farm near you at pickyourown.org.
