Sooooo....we charge $1.99 per you pick pound of apples that are not of any particularly interesting variety. The orchard has been sprayed with some heavy duty pesticides, notice no flies, wasps, or other insect creatures? Poisoned apples aside, overpriced poisoned apples aside, poor varietals of poisoned apples aside, it is the massive amounts of wasted poor varietals of poisoned apples that should make the owners ashamed. Every tree has had at least 50% wasted on the ground of rotting in the tree. Send them to a food bank! Of course this would mean we are poisoning the homeless and boring their taste buds. How do I know about the pesticide? I have worked in an orchard. That many fallen apples would/should be crawling with yellow jackets, ants, and flies.
Next we move onto the mass of humanity that shows up here every weekend. We are talking thousands upon thousands. Parking is a nightmare. There are sparse restroom facilities. I counted six port-a potties and two four person bathrooms. The regular bathrooms are disgusting. No soap, feces smeared on the walls, no toilet paper, and no one cares. I thought there was a bare minimum of bathroom facilities required by the health department?! If there is no soap here, what do you think the staff has to wash with? Ick.
My biggest gripe is that, those of us that remember, this rip off of a family enterprise had a "fire" that demolished the (then main structure. The family cried to the public. They waxed and waned poetic about the damage to their farm. They asked for donations to rebuild. They stated publicly that their end goal was to rebuild the lost structure. It has been over ten years. They have built plenty of other crappy structures, not one large enough to address the mass of weekenders, but no rebuild of the lost round barn.
Oh, I can't stop there. Bring your small ones. They are more than happy to charge money for every activity. This includes the child's play area which has several large unkempt apple trees dropping rotten apples all over where your kids would like to play, which you have paid the privilege for. The food is a total rip off too. We are talking serious Disney World rape. Except this food is served by unfriendly people that we have well established have not washed their hands in a very long time. I will never bring my family back as I'm fairly sure by next year they will charge for parking.
