We used to come to Curtis Orchard all the time, and it was a great place to be outside, have a nice meal, and do fun activities together while being active. The $5/bag charge isn't the worst bit, it's that you can't enter the orchard without one. My partners family was in from out of town and obviously couldn't take two bags of apples home to Michigan with them (plus...Michigan apples. Why would they?!). We just wanted to pick apples together, and would have bought two bags. However, their new policy is that you must buy a bag per person in order to enter the orchard. I felt bad for the employees who had to deliver the message. Overpriced, crap policy for a place that used to be a cornerstone of community life. Protect the trees and the products, of course! But don't turn away business because of inflexible policies!!!! Why not one bag per couple? Did four adults (two of which were over 50) really pose a logical threat to your apple trees? Were we really going to climb over things and make a mess?
Overall, disappointed and won't be going back. Going to Bloomington normal from now on for u pick needs and a fun day out. The donuts are still amazing, though.
