Du' naH~fruit(s)/vegetable(s) of the/a farm. As opposed to naH tlhab
"free-range" fruit.
At first (as influenced by it's English gloss), I was veering away
from pluralizing it; but after thinking about it in Klingon-I've
decieded that I would say Du' naHmey, if the situation called for it.
Likewise, I'd also say naHmey tlhab.
Du' naHmeyvam vIwIv. (while sweeping my hand over the mentioned
fruits--possibly in some sort of barrell or crate)

Modern playwrights have become obsessed with writing human
interpretations of alien theatrical works while ignoring completely
our own unique cultural heritage.~Bashir; "The Die is Cast" (DS9)
