This sounds like something Eddie isn't familiar with, or maybe it was just a rhetorical question. The 'you pick it' places are fairly common around southern Indiana. You can go and pay to pick about any kind of fruit or vegetable you want within about 2 hours of my house. Melons, tree fruits, strawberries, green beans, grapes, whatever you want.
Do they not have these kinds of places in other parts of the country?
I've never heard of a vegetable or fruit type of place where you pick your own. It could be just that I'm sheltered and never came across anything like this. I am impressed that people will drive two hours one way to do this.
There is a Blueberry farm in my area and they sell allot of Blueberries. It's a family operation and they've been on TV a few times. They make jams and jellies, plus all sorts of other Blueberry stuff. I don't know if you can pick your own, but you can get just about anything Blueberry from them. The store if very nice and it's an attraction in itself. I've thought about going there a few times, but haven't made it yet. They do have me curious.
