    a closeup of a patch of grass and weeds

    My wife and I took the kids (ages 2 and 5) to Steere Orchard this morning for their Applefest event. After walking about halfway down the first aisle of the orchard, our 2 year old tumbled and we realized that we were in a sea of poison ivy (I'll try to post the photo). Figuring that this was an isolated situation we cut through to the next aisle. Nope, same thing throughout the whole orchard. At this point we decided to leave. I asked my wife to take the kids to the car and I headed to the main building to give them a heads up about the situation. When told, the initial response I received was, "Well, I sprayed" and the conversation ended with me being told "F... you". Now reading the reviews posted by others about Steer Orchard's rude employees, I'm not surprised with our experience. Over the last five years of bringing the kids apple picking at multiple orchards, we've never had this type of experience. After the fact, I wondered if I just hadnt noticed the volume of poison at other orchards. Later in the afternoon, we went to another local orchard to pick apples. I specifically paid attention to the condition of the aisles between trees. Low and behold, the aisles were generally clear with no signs of poison ivy. I understand that there are times where things just happen, but that doesn't seem to be the case at Steere Orchard. The combination of a poorly maintained orchard, abismal customer service, and relatively high prices makes Steere Orchard an unattractive venue to bring a family, especially with the large number of high quality orchards in the area. Lastly, I thought it was worth noting that it appears Steere Orchard deletes negative reviews posted on their Facebook page.

    Picking apples

    Had a great time there today. First time picking apples here. We went when we saw there Applefest advertisement on Facebook. Glad we went. Enjoyed walking around and looking at the items vendors were selling. We didn't wait for the wagon ride to the orchard wait was too long. We walked to the orchard which wasn't a bad walk.we did take the ride back since the bag of apples was too heavy. We did listen to the band for a little bit and ran into some friends along the way. Great way to spend a nice day. Can't wait for next year.

    Trees were bare.  There were more apples on the ground than in the trees.

    Incredibly grumpy service. Not going back with too many other good orchards around. The apple selection was also wanting.

    Despite the warm, delicious donuts and friendly girls at the front end, I had a rude interaction…read morewith a blonde lady that worked in the back (prob making donuts) -- if for not her, I'd give this place a 5 star review. I wanted to try a new orchard and have a nice time before the cold really sets in -- so I decided to come here with my family who adores farms and such. We purchased an apple bag that granted us access to the orchard and pick some apples. However, when we were loading them into the trunk of my car, I heard someone say, "are yall gonna pay for that?" Obviously we had paid for them already inside and I explained this to her but she insisted on saying that we weren't allowed to pick apples unless we bought the bag and that stealing is not something that they allowed at the farm... which really irked me because I already bought a bag and explained to her this but she seemed so bothered and didn't understand. Her customer service skills are nonexistent and not here at all. it's extremely rude to assume we were stealing apples when we obviously had a bag with the logo of the farm. Why would anyone jump to the conclusion that we were stealing? I definitely didn't like the experience and I won't be coming back here. I would rather take my business elsewhere where I can shop in peace and enjoy family time. If they're going to be this unhappy and rude, don't work at a farm. Simple. Won't be coming back to this especially if blondie wants to be so rude.

    they have my fav cider donuts of all the farms and my moms usually finds a thing or 2.read more

    We went here soley for the reason it was the only place that had apples left in mid-October. Most…read moreplaces shut down picking early. Would this be my choice for an applepicking orchard in late September? Probably not. I am glad they open later in the season, even if the variety was not great the later you go ... something I won't faukt them for. When we went, it was mid/late October and the only two varieties left on the trees were small green apples, which were sweet. And what we think were McIntosh apples ... the tree labeling here truly is terrible. Sweet with a slightly tart flavour. We were bummed that there seemed to be no courtland apples for pies ... again, our fault for coming so late. The orchard itself is not what I'd call picturesque. Some of the Massachusetts orchards we've been to (Red Apple, the dreadedly crowded Honeypot, Tougas, etc.) are much more picturesque and upscale. This is kind of a field of smaller trees haphazardly laid out with a small, trailer-like farm store. The cider donuts were regrettable. They were the smaller variety of bitesize donuts ... they didn't taste much different from Entamins and when we opened the bag, which was sitting on a shelf, two wasps flew out as we dug our fingers into the bag. I'd skip the donuts here. The best part about this place is that you pay by the pound. Upon entering the orchard you are given a bag and upon exiting, you pay by weight. At most orchards for pick your own, there is only a $40 bag, which contains 10 lbs.+ of apples. That is heavy to carry, especially if you have kids who want to pick only a few pounds. I love the pay by weight because you don't need to fill a bag with more applea than you'll probably eat. We saw some people using picking poles because most of the late season apples were at the top of the trees. The apples here are much smaller than any other orchard we went to ... but they were tasty. Yes, there are a LOT of bees/wasps (yellowjackets) inside the orchard and store ... but that is pretty much anywhere. While this wasn't the type of orchard you'd see in a movie scene about applepicking, as it feels more like someone's large backyard with apple trees, it was a nice find later in the season and it wasn't so full of people that the experience was annoying, as many orchards are. If you want a smaller orchard where you can bring the kids to quickly pick a few pounds and can do without a petting zoo, restaurant, hayride and games ... this is a fun and unique spot.

    Barden was a great place for apple picking! They have a ton of different varieties and everything…read morewas well marked. The apples were great quality and were delicious to eat and bake with later in the week. We parked a little far out from the entrance based on how busy it was (Sunday afternoon), but it was an easy walk. A lot of the apples that were ready to be picked and of good quality were at the top of the trees. I wish they offered ladders or picker tools to allow people to get good apples that can't be reached otherwise. Also, they had run out of apple cider donuts, which was a shame. We got some apple cider and fresh raspberries to take home, which were also both delicious. I would definitely pick our own raspberries next year if we return. We would definitely go back for a fun Fall activity each year!

    This orchard as huge and has a very large selection of apples. Great varieties and I can't wait to…read morecome back in mid October when even more varieties are ready for picking and eating. I thought the layout was easy to follow and very organized. The space across the orchard was truly maximized. Rows upon rows of beautiful apples waiting to be picked. This weekend 9/15, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Gala, Liberty and McIntosh were ready for picking. My wife and I are apple feinds eating 1 or 2 a day each. We had the fridge space for cold storage so we did 1/2 bushel which hits you @ $55. We ended up getting 24.5lbs of apples which came out to $2.24/lb. Not bad for fresh off the tree. If you don't eat as many apples, it is a little on the price side because here are the prices: 1/2 bushel ($55 = admission for 5) 1 peck ($35 = admission for 3) 1/2 peck ($17.50 = admission for 1) 1/4 peck ($15.00 I think? = 1 child 10 and under) Quantity is certainly your friend here. Not an issue for us because we eat so many (enjoyed over 4 while picking em.... They were good and couldn't help myself). We also grabbed some apple cider donuts on the way out. 1/2 dozen for $11 and they're the best apple cider donuts I've ever had. They actually tasted like apple and not just straight up sugar. Heat up in the microwave for 10 seconds before enjoying and chefs kiss. Will be back here in a month! Looking forward to some fuji and evercrisp!
