Tuttle Orchards is the answer







What, you may wonder, is the question? The question is "where can I go if I love farm fresh foods but am getting stressed by the farmers' market crowds or their hours don't work for me?". Here's a place that is conveniently open year round from 9AM to 6PM everyday except Sunday. They also conveniently take credit cards if you forgot to bring some cash. This is a really zen place where you can truly enjoy buying local as you check out the farm that you are patronizing. We bought some ears of corn that were picked that day (and for only .50/ear). The ones that were picked the day before were discounted- you've got to love that. These were delicious ears of corn too with plump, sweet niblets. We also bought some tasty green beans and tomatoes along with some Amish noodles (yum) and retro drinks like Birch Beer. They have a wide variety in their market with tons of preserves and jellies, candies, frozen fruits, honey, syrup and a lot more that is listed on their comprehensive website. This is our kind of grocery shopping.
