- Subject: [Market-farming] U-pick apples
- Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 07:25:02 -0400
Hello,
We are considering going U-pick on apples this year. Our trees have finally
been brought down in height and narrowed in the rows, to accommodate
U-pickers, and I intend to fill the couple of old groundhog holes. We would
appreciate some input from other folks doing U-pick.
Questions/concerns:
Our insurance agent has said that we may do this, without additional
coverage/premiums as long as (1) no ladders, and (2) no tractor rides.
Do you post rules and point them out to the people? Does anyone use a
written/signed 'release' form? (Am I too paranoid?)
What do you have them pick into?
Are you selling by weight or volume?
How do you set your pricing (U-pick compared to retail at your market)?
Any other considerations?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
