Today I drove down River Road in search of other ways to get fresh local products. First though, I saw (and yes this is a very shameless plug) our brand new Pride of Pierce County billboard that will be up from now through the Puyallup fair so check it out.  Anyway, back to farm stands...

About 3 miles from the I-5 exit I arrived at the Duris Cucumber Farm Stand.  They had many great fruits and veggies from their farm, other puyallup valley farms, and Eastern Washington farms.  While Duris grows a lot of great stuff, like strawberries, green beans and zucchini/squash, they are traditionally known as cucumber producers and pickling suppliers.  They have everything you need for pickling at home from fresh dill to mason jars to packaged spices and even several varieties of pickling cukes.  Duris also has a pickling demo every Saturday during the season from 9:30-11am.
