A visitor writes on October 03, 2011: "We went to Waird's this weekend and were greatly disappointing that to pick
either apples or pumpkins, we had to pay $12.50 per person to get in and then
also pay for the produce. The handful of activities they have in addition to the
picking is really not worth the $12.50. It was a total rip-off. I thought you
may want to add this information so people who are looking to pick produce know
how excessively expensive this place is. "
