You Pick Farms

We went to one for the first time yesterday. I forgot what naturally grown food actually tastes like. We picked Blackberries and Strawberries. They have a rich sweet taste to them that you just can't get with the big farm foods. The Zucchini we bought .... holy crap bat man. First off, I have never seen them that big in a store ... ever. We got some medium size ones that were about 8 inches long and the diameter of a base ball bat. They almost tasted sweet. Not even a hint of the bitter taste that a lot of the store bought ones have. They have all types of different vegies and fruit. I have no intention of going to a grocery store for that stuff ever again. OH yea, the prices are great. Blackberries were $4/lb, Strawberries $2/lb, Zucchini $2/lb, Tomatoes $2/lb and this is for all organic food.

For those of you in TX area, here is a link for local farms
