Went to Linvilla for the first time today (my first orchard actually). I had a wonderful time. I wasn't prepared to pay so much money for the apples I picked, however the pleasure and serenity of walking through such beautiful orchards made the price worthwhile. I think they should outfit everyone with a lacrosse stick (that's what the apparatus looked like to allow you to pick high hanging fruit). My friend and I were not given one upon entering the orchard which made it challenging to gather the apples. Despite that.....it was a lovely experience. We then drove over the the farmer's market. What a delight! So many things to see.....a large area where there were a variety of sizes in pumpkins, general store, rides, etc. My only complaint is that yes....some of the staff are not that friendly. I asked a woman if the farm was open year-round (remember I said I have never been to an orchard or place like that farm) and she looked at me as if I had 2 heads. Also, the checkout people were somewhat rude (teenagers have to be taught customer service). All and all however, I will be back.
