Colon Orchards — Local services in Four Corners States

Terrible experience. Drove all the way out from Woodland Park and had to deal with a super grumpy Boomer lady. I asked a few questions about the apples they sell, and she was huffing and sighing and acted so annoyed. No one could answer my questions about buying a bale of hay although they advertise that they sell it. 🙄 So I offered to purchase a small bale of straw or hay and Ms Grumpy pants kept repeating "they're not any good and they are old and nasty" I was ok with the ones that had been rained on since I wanted to it keep outside for fall decoration.
