PYO APPLES PRICING
- Option #1 - Peck Bag: $30 - Provides you with ONE (1) bag and allows 1 to 3 people into the orchard with that ONE bag. Peck bags hold 10 lbs of apples. Approximately 25 apples depending on size of apples. ex: larger apples take more room than smaller apples so your count may vary
- Option #2 - 1/2 Bushel Bag: $45 - Provides you with ONE (1) bag and allows 1 to 5 people into orchard with that ONE bag. 1/2 bushel bags hold 20 lbs of apples, approximately 50 apples depending upon size of apples. ex: larger apples take more room than smaller apples so your count may vary.
Additional people are $6/person or we suggest reserving the next size up bag OR make another additional reservation. **Adding on an additional person does not provide you with another bag, It only allows one more person to be admitted into orchard with your current bag selection. If you have a large group, for example 10 people, this would require two separate reservations. You may also purchase additional bags when you arrive. $30 for a Peck or $45 for a 1/2 bushel.
