A visitor writes on September 23, 2009: "I drove a half
hour with my 1 year old son, after seeing their website. They list
they have a pumpkin patch which parents like to use for taking
pictures of their children. VERY disappointed. 1. After gathering
MANY items to purchase in the store, I go to pay and find out they
ONLY ACCEPT CASH. I was dumbfounded in 2009 if you have a big enough
operation to have a store that you don't take cards!!!! They even
take Pie orders for Thanksgiving...they do this all with cash?? I
don't really care-its their choice however they should REALLY
consider at least listing this on their website, because I wouldn't
have bothered if I saw that. 2. The pumpkin area was TINY, there
couldn't of been more than maybe 75.....and they were in a box-type
seclusion, so I don't know how anyone could feel invited to take
pictures or sprawl through the obvious made-for-retail-section. "- Applecrest Farm Orchards, Inc.
