Ontario orchard bans strollers, wagons and backpacks after some 500 pounds of apples stolen
The owners of an apple orchard in West Montrose, Ont., are fed up with people stealing the literal fruits of their labour.
Tim Shuh, operator of the pick-it-yourself Shuh Orchards near Kitchener, has introduced new rules for visitors this apple-picking season: banning them from bringing strollers, backpacks and wagons into the U-pick portion of the farm.
After two highly busy weekends in a row, Shuh said he reluctantly implemented the rules as a response to the noticeable and growing issue of theft.
I doubt it’s hordes of protestants swarming the orchard.
