The largest farmer's market near me http://www.linvilla.com/ Linvilla
orchards, Media, PA is where I go for "pick your own" of their crops.

It's fun getting lost in the corn! Requires a good sense of direction or a
compass.

The store in front, for those who just want to buy stuff, has a bakery and
the "cream of the crops". And the freshest murky apple cider that just
can't be beat!!!
