In addition, pretty much all of the honey crisp apples were gone as well. Out in the orchard, we found all of the pears, literally, ALL OF THE PEARS, which the website promised were ready to pick today, had already been picked. We were met with very long lines when we arrived around 2:30 p.m. The traffic to Stow from where we live was terrible so a 35 minute trip took an hour and a half. We did not take kids, we were a group of 4 adults. These are COVID times so I recognize it is difficult to meet all these new requirements so just take these as pointers to fine tune your operation that already has good products. One other was great that Honey Pot had sinks outside to be able to wash your hands but the soap dispenser was empty. So good overall fruit and products to buy but the organization of the operation and labeling of fruit could use fine tuning. This would be really helpful because the apple picking bag references the types and certain apples are better than others for baking. We got on a hayride to the fields but not sure if the driver let us off in the right spot.there were plenty of apples and pears but nothing was labeled so you didn't know what type of apples you were picking. I didn't see where to pick that up upon arrival so went into the store and they did not know either until one employee asked someone else and said that you only need that on weekends (we went on a weekday). The reservation confirmation said that we needed to pick up bands. An improvement that I wanted to comment on relates to organization. The apple cider donuts were amazing and the store had some delicious looking peaches and other goodies to choose from too. There were plenty of apples and also pears to choose from. We had to make an advance reservation given the current COVID restrictions which makes good sense. We enjoyed a morning of apple picking at Honey Pot.
