\"\"<\/a>In the northern hemisphere, it is full swing into autumn.\u00a0 One of the traditional American autumnal pasttimes includes picking your own produce!\u00a0 What’s better than seeing where your food comes from and thanking the farmers who are helping keep our pantries filled with goodies?<\/p>\n

In many areas along the Atlantic Seaboard, apple and pumpkin picking are at their prime!\u00a0 Pick some apples and bring them to lunch, or turn some into apple sauce, jar it for the winter!\u00a0 OH and who could resist making some apple pie?\u00a0 Fresh apples from your local orchard have flavors that can’t be beat from store-purchased apples shipped from all over the world, including New Zealand and Argentina.\u00a0 Even if those foreign apples are organic, is that worth the petroleum and chemical outputs from the life cycle that is required to get them to you?\u00a0 When you visit a local orchard, feel free to ask questions about sustainability and marketing, that way you know what you are getting!\u00a0 Who do they sell to?\u00a0 How were they grown?<\/p>\n

Additionally, pick-your-own apple orchards provide a fun, safe, healthy family and friends activity!\u00a0 Much better than sitting on the couch and watching TV or surfing the web.\u00a0 Help to encourage participation in your community and activities with your loved ones, then share a tasty snack or base a meal around your harvest.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin patches are lovely too.\u00a0 Many of them will be perfect for carving.\u00a0 Save the seeds, wash them off and roast for a tasty, nutritious treat!\u00a0 Sugar pie pumpkins are often smaller, but as their name exudes, perfect for old-fashioned style pies!\u00a0 Pumpkins can also be used for tasty and healthy savory dishes, like stews, sauces, curries, mashes and casseroles.\u00a0 The possibilities are endless with this beta-carotene rich food grown in your nearby pumpkin patch.\u00a0 Create an afternoon event around the pumpkin patch, and get outdoors.<\/p>\n

Here’s to the glorious local harvests abounding near you!\u00a0 Hope you can all enjoy them!\u00a0 It will certainly be a lovely weekend activity that everyone you love can enjoy.\u00a0 Don’t forget your digital camera for the memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
