How to pick like a pro
- Is it ripe?
Ask at the stand which rows are ready today; farms rotate fields as crops ripen.
- How to pick
Stay in the rows you are sent to, pick clean (do not leave ripe fruit behind) and do not eat in the field unless the farm says it is fine.
- Best time to go
Early in the day and early in the season for the best picking.
- Keep it fresh
Cool produce quickly and keep it out of a hot car.
