Fruit always sells; that was my grandparent's experience for the past 30 years. Gooseberries, pie cherries, blackberries, peaches, nectarines, yellow and purple plums, then apples in the fall.

A pumpkin patch can be worth a couple thousand or so for the fall. Deer don't seem to eat pumpkins and gourds.
I used to grow pumpkins and sold them in the field to peddlers for highest bid. VERY profitable! For around $100 and very little work, I would take in a couple grand in September.
