We
tried
the
new
pick-your-own
apples
experience,
with
full
knowledge
of
the
new
pricing
structure.
We
have
been
going
to
Terhune
for
many
years
but
took
a
break
over
COVID.
I
read
all
of
the
negative
reviews
on
here
about
the
bag
purchasing
approach
vs
the
weight
approach
and
decided
to
try
it.
The
three
of
us
bought
two
small
$9
bags
each,
for
a
total
of
6
small
bags
and
$54.
I
have
to
admit,
it
felt
pricey.
Each
bag
fit
about
6
large
apples.
So
it's
about
$1.33
per
apple.
We
decided
to
go
this
way
rather
than
3
large
bags
so
we
could
keep
the
varieties
separate.
I
recommend
bringing
a
sharpie
to
label
your
bags.
:)
The
orchard
was
as
usual
very
spotty.
Some
of
the
varieties
were
in
full
production,
some
were
way
done,
but
that's
typical
for
a
working
orchard
with
different
types
of
apples.
We
definitely
had
to
walk
around
a
bit
to
find
the
ones
that
were
ready
and
not
over
picked.
But
there
were
certainly
plenty
of
apples
to
fill
our
6
small
bags.
On
the
whole,
the
new
experience
was
much
like
the
old
one.
We
definitely
left
with
fewer
apples
then
we
would
have
otherwise.
However,
what
was
different
was
both
the
anxiety
at
the
end
of
the
day
about
how
many
apples
you
picked
and
what
you
would
have
to
pay,
AND
the
huge
line
and
usually
about
20-30
minute
wait
to
check
out.
So,
I'm
not
really
super
upset
about
the
new
pricing
model.
On
the
whole,
it
worked
out
ok.
If
we
had
more
people
in
our
party,
i
can
see
how
the
$9
small
bag
minimum
purchase
per
person
might
feel
onerous.
But
remember
that
there's
no
parking
fee
and
no
admission
otherwise.
If
you
were
trying
to
take
advantage,
you
could
conceivably
drive
up
with
(say)
three
cars
full
of
people
and
spend
hours
walking
around
and
eating
your
fill
of
apples,
without
that
per-person
minimum
purchase
to
cover
it.
After
thinking
about
it,
I'm
ok
with
the
new
pricing
design.
$9
for
6
apples
still
feels
pricey
tho,
so
maybe
they
should
reconsider
the
per-bag
prices.
However,
it
was
a
fun
two
hours
for
the
three
of
us,
and
that's
about
what
we
would
have
spent
on
a
movie.
*Shrug*
The
apples,
as
usual,
were
delicious.
