PYO-Pick Your Own Site!
Posted by: TammyWe love picking our own fruits. It generally cheaper because the farm owner isn’t passing on the cost of labor to you, the buyer. I’ve heard of PYO (Pick-Your-Own) farms that also offer PYO tomatoes, eggplants, beans, etc. but had yet to find them in CT.
Well, I want to put you onto a GREAT site that focuses on the pick-your-own movement.

This site has a search feature that allows you to find PYO farms in specific states and then provides great tutorials on canning, freezing and preserving your harvest. There is information on canning supplies, too.
I’ve used this site before but never realized there was a great search feature. Just today, I’ve discovered several farms within 30 minutes that have PYO vegetable picking. I won’t be able to grow enough tomatoes this year for our needs and PYO is a great resource. I just never realized we had PYO vegetable farms in this area!
