Pick Your Own Pesticide-Free Blueberries

Tracey — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 11:00:51 +0000

Although you can pick your own blueberries at several local farms, Frog Eye Farm is the only such farm I know of that doesn’t use any pesticides. My kids and I picked over 15 pounds of blueberries there last summer and froze most of them. We just finished our last bag a few weeks ago, so this is perfect timing for us.

Frog Eye Farm will be open every day from 8 to 5 this summer (not just weekends).

They recommend you call ahead at (571) 484-1149.

Kids Eat Right & Earn Free Admission to Summers Farm (EXPIRED)

Tracey — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:35:34 +0000

From FCPS.ORG Newswire:

Frederick County Public Schools and the Summers Farm Adventure became official partners this month. As a result, elementary students and their families are invited to take a Food Pyramid Challenge September 6-10, eating at least one food from each of five food groups daily. The groups include grains, vegetables, fruits, milk and meats or beans. Students are also asked to try at least one new food during the week.

Students may record what they eat Monday-Friday that week using Food Pyramid worksheets provided by Summers Farm. Students who turn in the worksheet to their PE teacher with their parent’s initials by the September 17 due date will receive a coupon for free admission to Summers Farm this fall.

“Eating well is one of the most important steps that people of all ages can take to improve their health,” says Kathleen Wack, FCPS Elementary Physical Education and Health curriculum specialist. “This partnership is a wonderful way in which a local farm is helping FCPS teach students and their families about good nutrition.”
