I remember as a child going to upick strawberries.

I also remember going into the green bean fields after the machines went through to pick. We used to pick large paper grocery bags... until we discovered the "secret". If you knew the day they picked, you could fill your bags with the spillage after the machines dumped into the trucks. We were actually told by the workers to do this. So, we'd get all our green beans for a year in 5 minutes.
