This is the real thing. Eddy fruit farm allows you to drive up to the trees that are ready. No mazes or other tourist traps. Your children might not prefer the lack of attractions for them, but I never saw an unhappy child at Eddy Fruit Farm. The product is the same as other farms, but but you can get picking in a jiffy. Goods are paid for in the field and their store is all natural and home made items. I used to take my children there when they were young, and I still go there every September. I will continue to go there until I can't.
