I live in the "fruitlands"

Submitted by Lise on October 23, 2007 - 07:21.

I live in the "fruitlands" of Massachusetts, so pick-your-own places are everywhere, and they ARE pricey. I've done it two years running now, but I doubt I'll go again. To make it worth your while you have to pick A LOT of apples (as you point), and then you have to do something with all of them. I think I'd rather harvest the apples from my own tree (not as nice of apples for eating whole, but still good for baking) or just buy them in the store; that way, I get them at the rate I want them.

Anyway, great article, and I agree completely: it's really the experience you're paying for, and you really need to decide if that's worth it for you.
