This Fall:Pick Your Produce

A highlight of my week is picking up produce from my CSA share. I consider it a culinary challenge to base my meals around what’s in the box each week. Furthermore, I love that the produce doesn’t have to travel far to make its way to my table.

But, when Fall rolls around I recognize that there is perhaps a more eco-friendly way to get my fruit – pick it.

A weekend trip to the local apple orchard feels so festive this time of year. It’s also a great change of pace for a date or group outing. The best part …

You completely cut out the pesky “middleman.” Even local produce is transported from the fields to the markets before it gets to you. Why not check out one of these local farms in the suburbs of Philly this weekend:

Highland Orchards in West Chester
Linvilla Orchards in Media
Fox Chase Farm in Philadelphia will host AppleFest Saturday October 16th.
