Upstate New York has a ton, A TON, of pick-your-own orchards and farms.
The fertile soil and climate of the Hudson Valley provides optimum conditions for growing fruit and throughout the year its easy to locate an orchard or farm to pick-your-own (or have someone do it for you) fruit - everything from cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, strawberries, raspberries, apples and pears.
This weekend we are hoping to go to Love Apple Farm to pick cherries. http://www.pickyourown.org/PYO.php?URL=http://www.loveapplefarm.com But I'm told that the sweet cherry season came early this year. No worries though. If we missed it, peach and plum season is next month!
Update - just in from Love Apple Farms - in response to my question, "do you have cherries"?
ReplyDelete"Yes, cherries, strawberries, gooseberries, currants, black raspberries in
another day or two."
Yaye!
