Have visited this Orchard for several years in a row now. Have always enjoyed it as an outdoor sensory activity with wagon rides, Apple picking, flowers and pumpkins and gourds. This year, much to my disappointment, we witnessed what appeared to be some racial profiling. An oriental family in the wagon riding with us, who spoke perfect English, were told to get off their lazy a** and go get some more apple bags despite they had just been told inside that they had enough bags. The tractor driver then proceeded to collect money from them and stuck it in his pocket. A number of guests on the wagon witnessed this entire ordeal and spoke up loudly. Soon, a 4 wheeler came by, the tractor driver gave him the money, whispered something in his ear and passed the money along asking him to bring out some more bags for this oriental family. Things appear to have changed since last year. The tractor goes out to the field and waits until you are ready to come back. Meanwhile, if you are waiting for a wagon ride out to the Orchard, you could be waiting a half hour or more like us. Last year, he made continual rounds and there was very little waiting. This year, you can not go out to the Orchard unless every person over the age 6 had purchased a bag. One child free with one paid bag for someone over 6. Disabled child or not, it didn’t seem to make a difference. Really disappointed in the change. Not sure I will go back there…

Apple picking was lots of fun for the kids to do. We started out in a play area where the kids could burn some energy. They had sand, swings and a small maze for little kids. They had a blast. When we were ready to pick the apples, a tractor came around every 20 minutes or so for rides back and forth. We purchased a $ 10 ½-peck bag up front so the kids could fill it up as we walked along the rows. We bought gourds & pumpkins and the price seemed fair. I noticed also they had a good price on cabbage so I may return for some soon. The only thing I wish for here is the baked goods or cider that other places have. However they are not set up for something like that. All is all, this place was not a disappointment.

We take students here every year. We love the tractor rides, hay and corn mazes and picking apples. It is free to go in. If you are in Rochester, especially in the fall, you should stop in. It is a beautiful, little piece of the country on the edge of the city.
