I love apple cider and corn mazes and fire pits. What better way to start the season then to go apple picking. We went this past weekend with our kids and some friends. We took a ride to Bishops Farm. It takes about an hour to get to and this year it was disappointing to find a $5.50 admissions fee. It included a hay ride and their corn maze but $5.50 a person on top of buying apples. Then cider. Which leads to buying Apple cider donuts and kettle corn. Really makes the outing more expensive. Don't get me wrong the Gala apples are amazing. They are so sweet and crunchy. They are defiently worth it but to have to spend $5.50 a person 2 years old and older dampens the mood.
They said its due to people coming and eating the apples vs purchasing but that's the risk you take. I kept thinking how many apples would we need to eat to make up for the $5.50 a person fee.
I hope they change their policy because I think it is doing more harm than good for their farm. Plus there are other Farms in CT that people will turn to instead. I know next year I will think twice before taking a ride up there.
Where's your favorite place to go Apple Picking?
