Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings, but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests.  They don't. Don't support the scammers!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

What's in season in December 2024, and other timely information:

Notes for December 2024: Crop growth is slowing down, except for Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or along the Gulf coast where citrus are starting, and believe it or not, the blueberry and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar . This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage  and other greens are thriving.  And this is a good time to get a canner and  learn how to preserve foods for the winter, like canning some applesauce, apple butter or jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs! How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie made from a real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of easy home canning, jam and jelly making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search. A fun winter activity is to make your own ice cream, even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write me!

Valentine's Day - February 14 - See this website for Valentines Day history, facts and Amazon's top picks for fast, easy, inexpensive gifts for the man, woman or children in your life!

    Comments from a visitor on April 18, 2011: "While they had REALLY good apples, and the gentleman who was riding around in his tractor was very helpful in locating the best apples, the lady who had rung us up for the 160 lbs. of apples we picked and half gallon honey we bought couldn't have been more rude to us. Considering we were picking apples with 5 elderly men and women and 4 kids, we were moving as fast as we could go. I have no idea if this woman owns the farm, but we will try it one more time and give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having a bad day? No matter. The apples are very good and we never mind blemishes as long as they are on a non-sprayed apple and kissed by genuine sunshine! The honey was good. Pure because there was a honeybee floating in the top! Love it! Wish they would have allowed me to bottle my own though as the opening of their 1/2 gal. jar is way too small. All in all, a fun trip for the kids and visiting in-laws!"
