Harrison Market Gardens

The garden is a short drive from Rockford (maybe 10-15 minutes from NW Rockford) and has a great variety of vegetables. There are some fruits as well, mostly berries. The strawberries make great jam!

The picking takes a little while, especially when you are really in the middle of the season because there is so much to pick. So set aside a morning or afternoon, and get out of the city for a little while: it's good for you.

Last year I took my 2 year old with every week and she had a blast running around and eating cherry tomatos right off the vine! This year she will be even more helpful.
