Ooh, but now it's summer time, so I have to start hunting for the farmer's stands rather than relying on the supermarket. :biggrin:

There is a "Pick Your Own" fruit and berry patch close to me. They are not organic growers but at least I know the person that picked the fruit did not have hepatitis.
I think this weekend starts blueberry season! Think I'll go pick some.
