I'm a "Jersey Fresh" fanatic. One of the things I really love about living in Southern New Jersey is access to all the great summer and fall produce that our region offers, especially from farm stands and you-pick farms. Blackberries just arrived for picking and after work I drove 90 miles, including slogging through thunder showers, to pick blackberries from Mood's Farm Market in Mullica Hill, Gloucester County. As I crawled along in the middle of the storm, I wondered, "Am I nuts?" However, once I arrived to a sunny, damp farm, and was picking gorgeous berries, I felt so relaxed. Picking fruit is a favorite activity to relieve stress from the work week. And, on the way home, I stopped at an "honor system" produce stand in Mizpah, put my $7.50 in the coffee can and took home some delicious corn, lovely tomatoes, an eggplant, cucumbers and a couple of hot peppers. Pictured is the blackberry crisp I made.
