In many many states you can find these types of farms where you can pick your own vegetables or fruits.

?

Yes, there are.

There's one that I would like to just tell you a little bit about. It's in the St. Louis, Missouri area.

( . .)

And, it's called Eckert's. And in the springtime, they start with strawberries. And then in the fall, they have pumpkins and then for Christmas they sell Christmas trees, and you can go cut down your own Christmas tree.

Usually, if you're picking the fruit and the vegetables yourself, it's a little cheaper than buying it already in baskets or sacks because you're doing all the labor.

. 'honor system' ?

That's correct. Sometimes, along the roads, there'll be stands that sell tomatoes fresh tomatoes, and cucumbers, and green peppers.

And it's an honor system. You have to be totally honest to leave the right amount of money.( . .)

Yes, the one that I went to a lot when I lived in Georgia said that you could have ten tomatoes for two dollars. They didn't really have you weigh your own.

Some places do have a scale that they put out. And then they charge you per pound.

Depending on the state that you're in, apples are just about ready to be picked.

And blueberries and grapes are very much in season right now.

And you know what you can make from grapes.

I would make some wine from the grapes.

In the South, Southern part of the United States, it is very very popular to sell watermelon, and cantaloupe and okra.
