Lynn, something to consider with what you wrote below.  I have land where 
people wnated to do things ; as an owner you can 'not' give permission 
without becoming liable.   Now, if someone wants to sit on my land , with 
theri kids and fish or hunt or go swimming, I don't care, I'm glad it is 
being enjoyed.  But, if they ask my permission, I have to say no so as not to 
be liable, legally.  It is stupid and wrongheaded, and I have let people know 
'not' to ask my permission; I can not forbid something about which I do not 
know.  So, you might consider that aspect when you are asking around about 
picking from old orchards.  Me, I think I would  just go knock on the door or 
talk to the neighbors; I'll bet you get 'semi' 
permission..................................................

We have many, many old orchards here that are just left to go wild. One of my 
plans is to get permission to prune and tend one of them in return for the 
apples...sometimes it's hard to find the
