The owner of the Danvers facility made an apparently racist comment about many of the patrons present that day, according to a police report about the incident; Connors Farm has released a statement on the allegations, which it says it takes"very seriously" and is investigatingA woman says an employee of a Massachusetts farm racially profiled her sister after the family went apple picking this month, then continued to be aggressive to the point of assaulting her, sparking a scuffle.
"He made comments to the effect of 'Look at these people, look at the crowd', 'We have plenty of problems here', and 'You could lock up half the crowd'. It was very clear that was referring to the many racial minorities in the crowd and was insinuating that they were criminals," the officer wrote in the report, noting that he cut off the conversation.
The employee wouldn't come outside to be interviewed, as the investigating officers requested, and when they eventually went inside to speak with him, said he was hit in the face with the woman's phone,"which he said he then grabbed and threw away to 'district'" her. Pepin told NBC10 Boston and Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra that the incident began when the employee asked to search her sister's stroller, singling them out despite other people — who aren't the same race as Pepin and her sister — with strollers in the area. The employee then followed them aggressively, attempting to stop the stroller himself.
