They've moved into a large barn from a much smaller building, and you can sit out in the orchard to enjoy your cider, donuts, etc. They grow 100+ varieties of apples including many heirloom and also have a tasting room for hard cider and wine - also in a historic barn.

They have someone do it, and that person has a habit of grabbing the apples with his fingernails which cuts into the apples. ALL of the apples. This happened over two seasons. Several people I know have had this same issue. A group of about 10 people left the line when they noticed it happening. I would love to make this go-to orchard but because of this hygiene issue, I just can't. And in case you wonder-they've been told it's an issue. They don't care I guess.

Also, our friends will bombard you with requests and they'll only get worse as the night goes on. Please accommodate what they want." He pulled it off! Plus he was super nice. For example, Aaron checked the total time of our playlist and planned ahead to cut some songs short so we could hear as many as possible. He was exactly what we wanted and we highly recommend him!

What an awesome, awesome place for a retreat or camp!…read more I recently went to the UU Ann Arbor Women's retreat here and it was excellent! Without going on too much about the retreat I was attending, the facilities were fantastic! The houses are set up with lots of bunks - there were four in our room, and five in the next room through to ours. Each bunk had it's own separate storage space and light. There were mattress pads and contour sheets on the beds, but you were responsible for bringing your own sleeping bag or sheet/blankets. There were also plenty of small group meeting areas. For large group meetings, the barn was great! The kitchen staff did a great job and were very accommodating with our food. There were several in our party with specific dietary requests, and I didn't hear any complaints about folks going hungry. If your group is looking for somewhere to hold a gathering/retreat/camp, I'd definitely recommend High Scope!

All I can say is WOW. This man knows his stuff…read more A few years ago, my then-wife and I took a rec and ed course on basic ballroom dancing that was taught by Dorian. He has clear passion for dancing and for sharing his amazing gift with others. He also has the right ATTITUDE to be an effective instructor. Patient, understanding, knowing how to work with "room temperature IQ" types who are "legends in their own minds", and effectively dealing with Fred Astaire wannabes with two left feet, Dorian gave all the people in the class COMPETENCE and CONFIDENCE, when it was clear that he was so, so, so much better than those in the class. I simply cannot give a stronger recommendation to this outstanding teacher. He is a fabulous dancer with loads of talent but makes everyone feel that they are making good progress. If I had to select just one person to teach me ballroom dancing for an important event (holiday party, wedding, etc.), I would entrust that awesome responsibility to Dorian Deaver. It is similar to recruiting Michael Jordan or LeBron James to teach a basic high school basketball clinic. Damn! You simply cannot do better. Recommend heartily! -------------- Disclosure: I did not receive anything (not even a pair of stinky socks) for submitting this review. Other than being a former student, I have no connection with Mr. Deaver. Good luck!
