I agree, pears are about the easiest "normal" fruit
to grow, and they have the advantage that you pick them while still hard, let
the customer ripen them.
For U-pick, blueberries are hard
to beat. Hector Black lets people pick on shares, meaning you get a gallon
free if you pick one for him, then he takes his share to the farmer's market to
sell. Blueberries store, transport, and freeze better than about any other
berry. With the interest in phytochemicals, blackberries may increase in
popularity, as they have far more than blueberries do. But they still
don't store or transport as well.
The best way to eat berries is
to mash them up, crumble in some graham crackers, and then stir in yogurt,
cream cheese or sour cream. So simple and so good, anyone can
eat berries every day. Donna
