Fruit freshly picked is so much sweeter than anything you can buy in the stores. This is especially true here where everything is imported, sometimes from very great distances. I have been lamenting that fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are both very costly and never as tasty as they are at home. This is true of nearly all produce on sale here.

Toronto has a number of pick your own places (apples, strawberries, pumpkins, Christmas trees, etc.) all within a reasonable driving distance.
