| - I've been here 3 different times. The first two times, I had excellent experiences, especially when I went early this season and one of the farmers personally showed us around and took us on his tractor. It was a really great experience.
HOWEVER, this past weekend when I was there (Sunday, about 2 pm) it was SO CROWDED and I don't know if it was an artifact of all the people that were there, but the people out in the apple orchards were just SO RUDE. They had signs up pointing out a few of the different variety trees but some people were wandering to other ones and this guy riding around on a four-wheeler would just come by and yell at the people for being there. These areas were not blocked off in anyway and based off when we got there, there were no instructions saying not to do so (we were just given bags as we approached the orchard, nothing else was said to us). My boyfriend and I just kinda shrugged that off, but we got taken aback as we were leaving and that same man came up to us as we were getting in our car. He was super nasty about where we had parked (and for the record, we were about 1 of 8 cars parked on this strip of land). There were no cones, no signs, no rope, no anything indicating that where we parked was not permissible. Sir, if you don't want people parking here, you need to indicate that somehow, signs, parking attendant, or otherwise.
If this last experience was my first time here I guarantee I would not ever go back. I'm willing to go back and give them another try because 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but this last trip was highly off putting.
