Start your summer harvest!

Time:45 min Difficulty:Medium  

Summer is here, and that means all of the delicious, bright coloured fruits and veggies are also popping out of the soil too! Perfect time to hit up a local fruit or vegetable farm to go pick your own produce!

• Reusable produce bags, carrying bags, or repurposed baskets
• Sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun
• Friends or family to join you on your harvest

With a parent or guardian, find a local farm that allows you to pick your own produce! Certain farms might specialize in specific produce, so make sure to pick your favourite.

Consider asking the farmer or employees some questions about the farm and the harvest. Here are some questions below that you can ask yourself while picking your favourite produce:

• What other plants, insects, or animals are nearby? What are they doing?
• What does the field or orchard look like?
• How long does the crop take to grow?
• Do these specific crops grow better together?

Take home your well-earned bounty to enjoy!
