Sans-fuzz, kiwi cuz A hardier, smaller, and sweeter cousin of the kiwi, kiwi berries are something of a novelty at late-season farmers markets, especially since they're fur-free and can be eaten whole. A.T. Buzby in Salem County, N.J., and Beechwood Orchards in Biglerville, Pa., are among the local farmers that have been producing the fruit, which can survive cold Pennsylvania winters. Pick up what could be the last of the season at this weekend's farmers' market.
