Pick Your Own

Now that Spring is here and we are thinking about fresh produce, do you know of a local farm where fresh produce can be purchased or picked?  Please leave a comment and we will compile them for everyone to enjoy.

In the meanwhile here are a couple of possibilities I have found and love that you might want to check out this year:

Day Farms, 2500 W. Gentile St., Layton, UT, 801-546-4316
U-Pick Asparagus in April thru May (when I called earlier this week they said to check back the first week in April to see if it has come up yet.)
U-Pick Strawberries for two weeks in June and two weeks in August (my younger girls and I went up at the end of June, the end of the crop for that season, and picked the most flavorful berries to eat and make jam)
From Mid-August through September they have U Pick Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, Chili & Sweet Peppers, Green Beans, Eggplant, and Tomatillos.  They also have other fruits and vegetables available for purchase through out the summer.

Click Here to go to the Utah's Own website which will show you all the Farmers Markets throughout the state.  I personally love the Murray Farmers Market once it starts in August because it has easy parking and fabulous fruit without the art market.
