Comments from a visitor on September 11, 2011: "Every year my family and I have gone apple picking at Pippin Orchards. Over the last few years we've become a little wary about going there as the workers have been very strict about where you can pick and about using the poles for reaching the apples up high. This year was absolutely ridiculous. First we were told that the Cortland apples "weren't ready" this week, but that they would be ready next week. Another employee ended up confirming that some were ready on one end of the farm so we could pick there. Really? How can it be that those trees are ready and the others are not? We asked for the pole pickers so we could get apples of any kind of decent size and they told us they had none and gave us such a hard time about the getting any at all. Again, really? So no one's going to be able to get the apples from the tops of the trees this season? Finally, as we've just finished picking the apples, the pole pickers magically start appearing. We'd been completely lied to the whole time. If it wasn't for the kids getting into the picking, I'd have gotten a refund and gone somewhere else. Pippin Orchards is playing too many games. We'll be going to another orchard in future years for sure."
Comments from a visitor on July 06, 2011: In response to the complaint about the minimum: "Staff cannot leave the shop to escort to trees, 5 pound minimum due to customers making alcoholic beverages and is more or less for experianced farmers. Shop employees do not make the pies themselves, so lack exact expertise in baking of the pies. "
Comments from a visitor on September 26, 2010: "This farm is located in Providence County and I think their should be a disclaimer following there info about apple picking. They have the gawl to charge a 5 lb. minimum of apples per person (this includes babies!!) So 2 adults, a 3 year old and a 6 month old is told they have to pick a minimum of 20 lbs of apples!! There trees are also not labeled so you wander around trying to figure out what is what, and than trying to find someone who works there to help you is ridiculous! When asking about a particular type of apple we were told, "oh, those are waaaaay in the back, here and there" and didn't even offer to take us to them. Also when the "helper" was confronted about the amount of apples expected to be taken they went on to say they take 8 lbs of apples to make a pie and that 5lbs. per person really weren't alot of apples" What!!!??? I make a pie with 8 -10 apples MAX!! and there would've only been 2 adults eating them! There are plenty of other orchards in the nearby area and I think that people should be made aware of this monstrosity that Pippins is claiming!! This in by no way is good customer service it's a rip off.
