“If you want enough strawberries to make jam or anything like that I wouldn't bother. If you want enough for a personal size shortcake, maybe. Made an appointment to drive over an hour away to go picking with them and when we arrived it was slim picking. We wound up with about a half a pint ($1.80 worth) between two adults and two children. Huge disappointment. When I told another person about how our experience was on their Facebook page, I was lied to and blocked. They immediately were defensive about the size of their "organic" berries. Nobody in our party said anything about the berries size. We were hoping to get enough ripe ones to actually do something with. (They were no bigger than your thumb if anyone wants to know) Their response was that we didn't know how to pick ripe strawberries. We've been doing this every spring/summer for close to 40 years. They must have been referring to another unsatisfied person. If I could give them zero stars, I would. Of course Anthony A. loved it. He owns the place 😆”
“The farm looks rough, like a tornado came to visit. I was cutting firewood near the farm.”
