Compared to fruits from far-off places, fruits picked nearby are fresher, riper, and have an easier time acclimating to your kitchen's imposed legal drinking age. Mitigate culinary culture shock with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get admission for four to the annual Peach Festival at Triple B Farms in Monongahela on August 13–14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (up to a $20 value, including tax). This Groupon is good for admission only.
The fruit experts at Triple B Farms invite Pittsburgh-area crop gatherers to fill farm-supplied baskets with fresh-grown seasonal fruits and enjoy a plethora of family-friendly games and activities. After arriving at the Peach Festival and donning the stylish all-day-access wristband, guests are free to explore the cornucopia of peach concoctions, desserts, and smoothies, taking down ideas for recipes and pointers for knitting peach fuzz into sweaters. Triple B’s peaches enter the sweet spot of the harvest season around mid-July, and usually remain plump and juicy through mid-September, placing the festival at the apex of picking time for both traditional yellow and small white peaches ($1.69/lb. for fresh-picked peaches, not included with today's Groupon). The delicious fruit’s devotees turn out en masse every year for the annual festival, which is a celebration of all things peach, including an all-ages obstacle course and a question-and-answer session with famous peaches. Triple B Farms’ Peach Festival also entertains children with a playground, farm animals, giant slides, and a rope maze, freeing parents to peruse the farm's expansive selection of fresh-grown produce, baked goods, jams, and rustic lifestyle guides.

The Groupon Guide to: Running a Successful Lemonade Stand
Ever since juice makers learned how to concoct lemonade entirely out of the light yellow liquid oozing from greek yogurt, the world's supply of lemons has grown, and more people have opened lemonade stands. Here's how you can make more money manning a juice station:
- Create an attention-grabbing sign by spelling "lemonade" with strawberry jam and letting ants crawl over it to make the letters look like they're in motion.
- Make your customers feel at home by yelling at them when they make eye contact with you.
- Offer a two-for-one deal—for every two cups of lemonade you buy, you have to supply one digit of your ATM PIN.
- Serve a dozen people at once by running over entire bags of lemons with a lawn mower, catching the fluid in an inflatable pool, and giving patrons permission to stick out their tongue while they swim.
- Ensure customers return by creating a loyalty program, which rewards customers with an occasional free drink as long as they agree to add you to their living will.
