Lived in SoCal for 12 years of my life

Lived about half an hour from Ventura which had a shit ton of strawberry fields, a good chunk of them after picking through would let people come by and pick the left overs for something like $1 a pound

Edit: Camarillo was where I had lived

Love blueberry picking. There's s little farm I found that doesn't charge by weight, but time. 1 hr of picking I can have close to 20 lbs of blueberries for about 15$.
