I've had experiences like

I've had experiences like that, but it's not universal. Yesterday, we went to Strawberry Acres just outside Allentown, PA. The apples were 99 cents a pound. Right now, New York State apples in our local grocery stores are 79 cents a pound, so the price difference is not that bad. There are similarly priced farms throughout the New York and Philadelphia areas. Also, many of these farms are organic and you will usually save money over store-bought organic produce. (Though not necessarily over farmer's market prices - but many of the farmer's markets around here close up before apple season is really at its peak.)
