My wife and I love picking fresh fruit at Eddy's. We like to go 3 times a year: 1. In late July / early august for Peaches, which are incredible. Yes we have great peaches north of the Mason-Dixon line. 2. Early to mid September for early season apples (Zester, Ginger Gold, Honeycrisp, couple others) and 3. Mid-October for peak apple season (Melrose, Mutsu, Jonagold, Empire, Golden Delicious, also concord grapes are delicious off the vine). The pick your own prices beat anything from a grocery store of this quality.
I think what we love most about Eddy's is that nothing is really roped off; Eddy just marks the rows and varieties of apples that are ripe and you can wander around in what must be 50+ acres of orchard. So we get a good walk/hike in with our apple picking. Other pick your own orchards, limit where people can go and only couple of varieties are available at a time. I don't think I have ever been to Eddy's when there are less than 4 varieties of apples being picked.
