“Thank you for coming to Evansville IN at the Marathon gas station!!! The Creathaven Peaches were VERY good!!! Went back today and got more trying a different kind this time. Both times I picked up peaches they were so kind. Helped me cary them to the car and gave 3 extra peaches that were over ripe at no charge. By the way they had a wonderful taste!! So glad to know where to find peaches that taste so good!! Hope you are back next year😊”

“Great peaches! Every year when they come to town my kids and I have a tradition of buying a whole box and using all of it for cobbler with a sugar cookie style top crust. I burnt the top just a bit this time but it was just as good as ever.”

“Be sure to eat these peaches (and nectarines) outside, otherwise you'll soak the furniture and the whole house will be sticky. Best peaches and nectarines I've ever had. Thank you, Dale!”

“Been in Illinois for almost 2yrs now from California and love fresh peaches look fwd to this every year now. Only thing that sucks is you can't choose the peaches that go into your box so you get more bad ones than good ones. They are pretty pricey for what you end up getting.”

“I recently bought some peaches from the Bremer Fruit Stand across from Casey's in Carmi. Out of a box of roughly 35-40 peaches, there were 3 that the whole peach was good. Every single remaining peach was badly bruised and/or moldy in the center. I called the number on the box and some older gentleman who did not identify himself but I assume was the owner since he did not offer to put me through to the owner, answered. I politely told him my problem, expecting him to say what I would have said if it were me-something along the lines of an apology and I would be glad to give you a refund or some new peaches the next time you come through town, but nope, that was not even close to what I got. After a lot of stammering and trying to explain that rotten peaches were good, too, and going on and on about Mother Nature and so on, he was pretty much done. So I simply asked him, "So you expect people to pay for rotten peaches?' To which he promptly replied, "I don't like that particular comment and attitude from you." and hung up on me. After staring at the phone for a couple of minutes thinking "Did that just happen?", I sat down to type this review. Now I realize that it is only peaches, and not a lot of money, but then I think about the little elderly lady that bought the same peaches as I did, and I am pretty sure she got screwed, as well, and from the looks of her vehicle and the fact that she was paying with dollar bills and change, I am guessing she had trouble scraping money together to buy the peaches in the first place. Then I wonder how many more did this, and it makes me angry that people think they can get away with this. I understand, due to Mother Nature and whatever other numerous issues he mentioned, he is not always going to have a quality product-then it needs to be stated that the peaches aren't any good but here they are if you still want them. As it was, all of the bruising was facing down on the top layer, so I just assumed I was getting halfway decent peaches. Wrong.”

“Very rude! Stopped by their location at the Marathon Station in Evansville. Asked for a small box of peaches. Mr. Bremer gave me a box but said they were very ripe but still good. I pointed out that many were bruised and dripping. Instead of offering me another box or trying to pick out some decent-looking peaches, he took the whole box away and said "I don't think you really want peaches." Fine- I guess you don't really want my money! I was very shocked at his nasty attitude. Will buy from other local vendors who are friendlier.”

“I had asked for peaches that were not hard or green and was told to stop by a few hours later. I purchased 1/2 bushel and some for a friend. Most of them are hard, green, rotten, have bad flavor or no flavor. Ended up with just a few decent to eat and freeze...after spending $100. 😳”
