A word about u-picking:  Our customers have been very courteous and careful about picking this year.  That is important as we are trying to stretch out the available supply to as many as possible.  Specifically, we ask that folks learn how to pick without breaking off the blossom spurs; picking up those apples that fall when others are picked; only picking those apple trees that have been ribboned to indicate they are ripe.  We will supply bags and picking poles.

But most important!  . . . you may not pick the fruit for the wonderful experience and then leave your bag.  You must return all picked fruit to the barn to be weighed and paid for.  Some people think we can sell the fruit they have picked  - but it doesn't work that way.  We can't glue them back on the tree!  In a year like this  every bag that is picked and then abandoned is one that cannot be picked by some other family.  So we have had to advise by signage and verbally that not paying for all the apples you have picked we will consider as theft.  This doesn't happen very often and usually is the result of people who have eyes that are bigger than their wallet.  Be we can't afford it this year and it is discourteous to others who would like to pick and purchase those apples.  So, pick only what you want and pay for what you pick.  'Nuff said.
