I don’t know why roadside fruit stands hold such a special place in my heart, but they do. Something as basic as buying food from the people who produce it should be part of everyday life. But for most of us sadly it isn’t, and that kind of bums me out.

Ginger gold apples. Have you tried them? I bought a few pounds and I plan on making a batch of homemade raspberry applesauce with them. I’ve never tried this variety before but according to the lady behind the cash register at Duris Farm in Puyallup they are suppose to be out of this world for applesauce.

Peaches! How does a case go for in your neck of the woods?

Fresh dill. 

One of the things I love about visiting Durris Farm every summer is the “man section.” You can tell women are in charge of the place because they’re are all sorts of antiques and extra seating to keep the men folk from wandering off to the hardware store or something because the little woman is doing her grocery shopping. 😉 I LOVE that!

Seriously, if you are nearby, go give this place a visit. They offer pickling classes, bulk discounts and sell everything you could possibly want or need for pickling cucumbers.

Not only do they have pickles, but they have loads of other produce as well as local honey.
