This is certainly not a universal experience. I live in Washington state and spent the whole summer making biweekly trips to the U Pick farms in Green Bluff, WA. I would agree that purchasing produce--or other products--at the quaint little shops was expensive. The farms themselves, however, offered many bargains. Never, never, never was I charged simply to enter a farm or orchard. Every farm charged a price per pound only. For example, I picked apples for 60 cents a pound and peaches for 70 cents a pound. Rasberries and cherries averaged about 95 cents a pound and were still a fraction of the cost charged by either local supermarkets or farmers markets.
