"I think you might need a new events coordinator…
We love to go here for berry picking in the summer, but it is a total nightmare on weekends in the fall for apple picking - extremely poorly managed for the amount of people visiting.
Tickets must be purchased from cars and shown to parking attendants prior to being admitted to the parking lot. Even with online sales available, we waited in line in our car for over 30 minutes from the road just to enter the farm.
Once we finally parked, we found that the bathroom accommodations were awful. 5 Porta-John’s and 3 women’s stalls for thousands of people entering on the weekends. No toilet paper in most stalls throughout our entire time there, and the attendants don’t even seem to care. We don’t have children, but I felt horrible for all the parents trying to navigate diaper changing. 1 changing table in the women’s room! For an event of this scale in the fall, the farm needs at least 5 additional Porto-John’s and a designated staff member to manage bathroom facilities. The bathroom situation was appalling and unacceptable for the amount of money being brought in.
We saw no security at this event, which is absolutely mind-boggling in this day in age for a venue with this scale of people. I saw young people entering the facilities holding 4 packs of alcohol, and even a man urinating in the parking lot near the cars!
We spent most of the time there waiting in line. By the time we were done with our drinks, we were ready to leave before even Apple picking."
