Murph,
Our demand for Honeycrisp is so great we can't keep up
with it. I would say that almost 100% of the time, it's the taste of
Honeycrisp that the customer is looking for in our area. We can have
several thousand customers through the orchard and our Apple Barn (where our
pre-picked apples are) per day and at least 35% of them ask for
Honeycrisp. We don't U-Pick them and have the tree rows
unmarked throughout the orchard where Honeycrisp are planted so they won't
get picked out of season. We only sell them pre-picked for $19.95/peck and
limit one peck per family and still sell out in 2 days. They aren't the
prettiest apple in the orchard, but appearance seems not to matter.
I think your idea of a wheelchair access lane is
excellent. We have a wheelchair access wagon we use for school tours or
special needs group tours that we take into the orchard so those that are
wheelchair bound can have the picking experience. Since our main
entrance road is 1/4 mile long and winds through the middle of our East and West
orchards, those who do not go on tours can easily access the lanes via
the road, so we have many handicapped folks visiting the orchard.
