Pick Your Own

When I was growing up I always wanted to be in one of those families that drove off to the country to pick berries for the day. We never did anything like that. The closest we got was the few years we went to tree farms to cut our own Christmas trees. I guess seeing how poorly those adventures turned out (arguing over trees, fighting over how to cut the tree, frozen toes, cold silences on the drive home. . .the usual) I guess it was probably a good thing we never went to pick berries together at a farm. Now that I am an adult I can go pick my own produce if I want. At Pick Your Own there are lists of different farms that have the option to go pick your own berries, tomatoes, peas, peppers and assorted others. Has anyone been to either Jacquemin Farms or Circle S Farms in Columbus? It seems that they are mostly farms that sell their produce (which is fine by me too). Is it worth the drive to either?

Both of the farms you mentioned are highly regarded by chefs in the Cleveland area for specialty produce. Either farm should be worth the drive, but please call ahead to make sure they have what you want to pick and the optimum time of day for picking that item.
