Where do fruits and vegetables such as; lettuce, apples, strawberries and corn come from?  
The store. (the answer from a pre-schooler)

Bringing kids to your local farm to pick their own fruits and vegetables helps them learn the different types of produce and understand how they are grown.

It is also a great time to get outside and spend time with your family and friends buying fresh produce from your local farmers.

Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, vegetables, and flowers and more can be picked at a number of local farms.  

A couple great websites to visit to find out where to go and when is best for harvesting.
Best to call ahead.
