I have gone to Linvilla every year for the past 7 years and the orchard experience seems to decline every year. This year has been the worst, where it's clear it's purely about profit for these people and not about the experience. They charge $6 per person now for apple picking, meaning a family of 4 with 2 toddlers will have to pay almost $30 just go pick some apples with a box. It doesn't even matter to them that there are nearly no apples left, they will still charge you.

Not only that, service has gone downhill. I had $20 worth of tokens left from last year because there was just nothing left to pick, so I tried to use them this year, but was told we would still have to pay the entrance fee, meaning we would have to spend $40 worth of apples. When I was explaining the situation, one of the farmers got so rude, cut me off, grabbed the tokens out of my hand, and talked to me super slowly as if I didn't speak English, asking me 3 times, "Do you understand what I'm saying?" Just because I ask a clarifying questions doesn't justify you touching me or grabbing things out of my hand, and just because I am Asian doesn't mean you need to speak slower to me and assume I don't understand what you're saying. It's 2019, ignorance and doesn't fly.
