She walked up to the little girl ripped the hay out of her hand through it on the ground and in her face said, "I am not going to tell you or anyone else to stop playing with the hay". The most ridiculous thing i have ever seen. It was a field trip for my sons pre-k class, it is 3 and 4 year old, newsflash you have hay they are going to play with it they are really not the interested about u telling them about a piece of farm equipment or certain apples!!!! the attention span is not that long! then the other female under the blue tent screamed about the hay as well saying she was allergic, well why be around hay if that's the case.

Prices for U-Pick as of 15 Oct 2011: Bags (half-bushel each) are $.50, green delicious are $15/bag (though they had a 2-for-1 special running), Jonathan and red delicious are $20/bag, and Jonagold are $25/bag.

We really enjoyed this orchard--it wasn't crowded and there is plenty to do nearby as far as food and "small town" shopping. Thanks for the great web site! "
