On September 20, my friend and I went to Bayne Apple Valley Farm (SAGINAW COUNTY) to buy some apple products and see the cider mill. We shopped, bought appple cider and other things. I guess that wasn't good enough for this store's management because 15 min.into our visit we notice the Saginaw County police following us around the store. After we purchased our products and got in our car to LEAVE, two police officers approached us asking us questions and wanting IDs.
Me and my friend do not have criminal records or any outstanding tickets, warrants, etc. I have an MBA degree and work for the Federal US Courts. After checking our information, the officer told us the store called them to report two "suspicious" looking black guys in the store. The store was packed and were the only two African Americans in the store. No one from the store offered us an apology or tried to explain the confusion. Me and my friend were not doing anything out of the ordinary and was highly offended by this act. I will never go to this place again! Michigan has plenty of better Apple orchards to go to this one. This place SUCKS big time!
