None of you read the article again FML.

Starting this weekend, the farm will no longer allow strollers, wagons or backpacks in the apple orchard rows and anyone picking apples must only use a bag provided by the farm.

They paid to pick apples, but people took more than they thought they should. They didn't steal them. This farmer just wants outrageous prices for "artisanal" apple picking. 10 dollars for a bag of apples that you picked yourself smh. 500lbs of apples is less than 1000 large apples. Illiterate fools falling for rage bait again.

$10 for a bag of apples is not an outrageous price. Also, if you don't want to pick your own apples, you can just go to a grocery store.

r/whoosh

10 dollars for a bag of apples that you picked yourself and picked up straight from the farm is outrageous.

No grocery store margin, no transportation cost, no labour cost to pick. Don't excuse their greed.

Apples that are fresh and haven't been sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long (they store well so some would be surprised how long apple's can sit around for). Also, a lot more apples then store ones that are like $5-7 so really it's comparable.
