All picked produce must be paid for. Management reserves the right to charge for any damage to property, dumped fruits, broken branches, or other vandalism.

Picking Apples
Be sure to choose apples that are free of bruises, fragrant, and firm to the touch.
Best Storage Practices
When storing apples, keep in mind that apples ripen 6 to 10 times faster at room temperature than when refrigerated. Apples that will not be eaten in a day or two should be refrigerated in the crisper and stored by themselves due to the fact that the fruit emits ethylene gas, which can cause other fruits and vegetables to decompose.
To prepare apples for freezing, slice them and place the slices on a cookie sheet. Once the individual slices are completely frozen, transfer them to a plastic storage bag.
