When I drive from Baltimore, MD back to Michigan to visit relatives, I plan the trip around blueberry season. A favorite is Strong's Blueberry farm near Union City, MI. It's easy to transport the berries in coolers and freeze them once I get home. Remember You-Pick farms as well as local farmer’s markets!

I've never tried freezing fresh food before but I'll have to look into it for this summer's berries. Another great way to enjoy the farmer's freshest ingredients, a little less expensively is to join the farmer's CSA. SoCal has so many wonderful CSA options and its really improved by husband and I's eating habits because we refuse to let food go to waste and we incorporate fresh local food in almost all of our meals.

I like the advice, I definitely bring my own bags, freeze stuff and east things as soon as possible to get the most out of the freshness. Although, most of the produce that I get there is probably a lot fresher than the stuff from the supermarkets, which have traveled who knows how long to get there, whereas the farmer's market is always local. Don't forget about us at toptentopten.com, we look forward to your future lists as well. Hey Maria, another excellent post.

Taking time out to enjoy all the produce, fresh fruits, flowers, meats and cheeses, baked goods and breads. It is a calming 30 minutes for me to take in what I love most about summer!
