Corcoran Management is pleased to
introduce a new blog feature called Get
Up & Go! Every Thursday, our team will provide you with an insider’s
guide to a local destination or event that’s an hour or less drive from your
apartment home. We’ll share everything from a great place to have fun with the
family to the best beaches to one-of-a-kind ‘secrets’ that make living in
Massachusetts so much fun!
As always, please
share your feedback with us on Facebook and Twitter, or by emailing the
property management office!
When
the sun is shining in late June and you’re looking for a fun experience without
spending a fortune, Massachusetts offers a unique seasonal pastime – pick your
own strawberries. Not only is this a great way to get out and enjoy the great
weather without a long drive but, if you have $5 in your pocket, you’re all set
for an inexpensive day – and fresh fruit that will turn your kitchen into a
pantry of goodness!
While
there are several pick-your-own on the North Shore, it’s hard to beat a
20-minute drive to Connors Farm in Danvers, where
strawberry fields are forever, or at least through early July. And for $5 a
pound, it’s easy to bring home enough strawberries to fill 10 shortcakes!
Connors
Farm has been in business since 1904, when it opened as a “truck farm” that
transported root vegetables into the city for wholesale. Featuring 140 acres of
arable land, Connors Farm is a pick-your-own paradise, with guests able to
harvest their own freshly grown peaches, blackberries, apples, blueberries, and
pumpkins, not to mention the ripest strawberries around! Visitors to Connors
Farm also can pick up freshly grown products such as tomatoes, raspberries, and
greens. Connors Farm even offers a guarantee that they will only sell freshly
harvested corn on the day that it is picked – or not at all.
Beyond
farm fare, “Connors Country Kitchen” features freshly baked goods (apple pie a
la mode!) and delicious twists on regional classics such as the spicy chicken
corn chowder. Visitors also can purchase hanging flower baskets, annuals, and
perennials, all which are grown on the premises.
