        Most people that would go apple picking aren’t getting that many, like half a basket, maybe 15-20 pounds at most. It takes like 10 minutes and you’re paying by the pound for what you take home for half the price or less than you would at the store.

        It can be a fun activity for kids, I don’t see what you’re upset about.

      Oh, I didn’t realise people would pay to do it - public fruit trees are fairly common in England. Apples and plums especially, but I’ve picked pears and cherries too, and there are even figs supposedly.
