I've visited u-pick farms in Virginia and Maryland, both within 40 miles of Washington DC, and I never had to pay an entry fee, just per pound. And that was last fall and the year before.

Those u-pick apples were slightly more expensive per pound than at regular supermarkets, but their quality far surpassed anything available in ANY supermarket I tried, including Whole Foods, in the DC area.

Tart, delicious, hardy apples at slightly higher cost than the oversized, easily bruised, virtually tasteless "apples" from the store? For me, that's a simple choice.
