***EDIT*** -Due to racial comments we are turning off comments. We did not mean for things to get out of hand -The other 3 cases were not shared due them each being much more minor. Each were around $25 of hidden apples. -The ?white woman? that was cropped out of our photo is a fantastic employee of ours that was helping bag the hidden apples. Once we saw people confusing her as the customer we cropped her out as we should have done in the first place -Thank you all for all your support! Upick tip of the day! If you fill your bag but can?t stop picking our delicious apples, don?t be shy! Come talk to our greeters and ask for more bags. Hiding $300 of apples around your spare tire, under your kids, in your glove box, and under your seat is not the way to handle it! Due to today?s 4 incidents we will be having undercover security in the orchard the rest of the season. If you see suspicious activity please report to our greeters or checkout team
