Not like in Ohio, having them walk to the field and pick it for you individually.
Since then, we've lived in North Jersey (3 years) and Michigan (25 years). I was disappointed in Jersey tomatoes, and one can get good corn in Michigan, but it has to be a planned event, and local knowledge is a must. Still, it isn't as good a Ohio's. But again, I grew up on Ohio corn.
Oh, and Michigan tomatoes--meh.

In south jersey,in the Pine Barrens it doesn't pay to grow veggies, tomatoes. When it's harvest time there are card tables in front of many houses selling tomatoes, zucchini and the like for hardly anything. Those are the tomatoes that taste the best. There use to be a lot of you pick it blueberries too. sandy soil, very acidic
