For fresh local fruit, try Cherry Avenue Farms in Vineland, just outside of Beamsville. Well organized. A pick your own place. Cherries have just finished, but apricots are in full swing with peaches just around the corner.

We were able to be some seconds to make jam. What a great way to preserve the fresh taste of some great fruit.
