Strawberry, blueberry and raspberry season is upon us! So grab your basket and head to one of these local farms with the kids for a family experience sure to please. Our list of locations are 60-90 minutes from Yonkers!
Now, more than ever, going to a farm, being outside, away from crowds, getting fresh, local produce, makes more sense than ever before! It's a fun, safe and educational to pick some fresh berries, fruit and veggies and more, then come back here to learn how to freeze, can, make jam, salsa and much more! Of course, check with the farm before you go, both to check on crop availability and hours. Some festivals may still be held in 2020.
