They acted as if the children were a nuisances to them. They yelled at the children repeated amount of times about playing in the hay. To the point they made a little girl cry. 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. Also, she threatened the kids to tell there parents to keep it quiet as well!!!!! Parents were so angry they grab there children and left and the rest of us including the parents were walking on egg shells! i can believe these people work with children everyday!!!!!! "

They do U-Pick until 4pm (though they also have pre-picked bags in the barn). 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. Some people brought their own baskets. Peach season is apparently in July/August. 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! "
